The aim of the Joint Congress of APAAACI and APAPARI 2016 is to create a platform for the exchange and progress of knowledge on allergy, asthma, and clinical immunology in this region. It is the Local Organising Committee (LOC)’s hope that the Congress would encourage study, prevention and treatment of allergy, asthma and immune-mediated diseases, with particular emphasis on problems specific to the region. The target is to attract 1,000 participants to promote cooperation in clinical and basic research, as well as to cultivate cooperation with other international organisations in the study of allergy, asthma and clinical immunology.
