Dear Colleagues
Dear Colleagues You are invited to a webinar on COVID-19 trends and vaccination progress – Discovery’s analysis.
The COVID-19 Clinical Brief Webinar series has been reinstated in response to the unique clinical challenges posed by the third wave of SARS-CoV-2. Discovery Health, together with SAMA, UFFP and SAPPF recognise the need for sound clinical guidance for, and by the profession at this critical time.
This CPD-accredited series (launched in 2020) will continue to support doctors on the frontlines during this third wave with credible, practical information about a range of topics related to COVID-19.
