INVITATION / WELCOME MESSAGE The South African Renal Society (SARS) and South African Renal Care Society (RCCSA) are established bodies in South Africa with a focus on Nephrology and the diseases associated with the kidney. As organizations made up of Nephrologists and Doctors with an interest in Nephrology, Nursing, and Dialysis technicians, the focus is to host meetings to ensure that those associated to our organization gain knowledge and are continuously updated in the field of Nephrology, to ensure that patient care is improved and continuously updated, ultimately. On behalf of SARS and the RCCSA, we would like to reach out to the medical industry and in particular, to request support in the form of an educational grant. This grant will be used for the sole purpose of hosting the SARS/RCCSA 2018 Congress, to further the education within the discipline of Nephrology. There are currently 150 Doctors on our database this is made up of Nephrologists and Doctors (mainly Specialist Physicians) with an interest in Nephrology. We would also be grateful for sponsorships in the form of display stands, and believe our chosen venue would attract a large number of delegates. We expect 150 to 200 doctors and similar numbers of allied members of the RCCSA to attend the meeting, which is scheduled to take place from the 11th to the 14th of October 2018, in Johannesburg, at Emperor s Convention Centre.
