Kuwait Society of Allergy & Clinical Immunology

Founded: 2007

Background:

The society was established as a sincere willingness to advance the knowledge and information related to the subspecialty of Allergy and clinical immunology in this fast growing world of science. Our main aim is to develop the specialty of allergy in our region and in our country, then involve actively in promoting our society through the WAO net and globally.

We are involved in promoting all activities of WAO locally in our country. We also promote educational materials of WAO among our medical students, residents, and fellows of all programs. We follow the time line schedule for all awareness activities of WAO, and correspond to celebrating the dates locally, and regionally (ie, world allergy day, etc).

We were honored to use the White book of Allergy that was published from WAO to talk to our decision makers, and health authority in order to consider allergic disease as one of the leading diseases worldwide, and take some action to help out in spreading awareness and educating about it.
