The African Paediatric Fellowship Programme (APFP) at UCT’s Department of Paediatrics and Child Health is transforming Africa’s child healthcare capacity by addressing the shortage of skilled paediatric professionals. By training and supporting a network of highly skilled paediatric clinician-leaders, APFP optimises health systems, shapes policy, and leads clinical service developments.
APFP is committed to building an evidence base for paediatric care in low-resource settings and significantly increasing the continent’s capacity to train more paediatric health professionals.
