CSI Africa 2026

CSI Africa 2026 is organized by cme4u GmbH Congresses, Meetings and Education, CSI Foundation and will be held from Mar 27 - 28, 2026 in Nairobi, Kenya.

Description:
CSI Africa with a renewed mission: to advance catheter-based interventions for congenital, structural, and valvular heart disease in both children and adults across the continent. As the demand for cardiovascular care in Africa continues to rise, the shortage of trained specialists remains a critical challenge. CSI Africa 2026 directly addresses this need with a regionally tailored, case-based program designed to deliver practical insights and long-term impact. More than just a meeting, CSI Africa is a collaborative platform—built to empower physicians, foster sustainable networks, and shape the future of cardiovascular care across Africa.
