FRIENDS OF VASSA
Building Global Collaboration in Vascular Surgery and Education
The Friends of VASSA network was established to strengthen professional relationships, encourage international collaboration, and support the advancement of vascular surgery and vascular medicine across Southern Africa.
Through partnerships with colleagues, societies, and institutions around the world, VASSA aims to expand educational opportunities, promote research initiatives, and improve the quality of care for patients with vascular disease. The initiative also supports academic growth and knowledge-sharing among Fellows, Registrars, and healthcare professionals throughout the region.
