Emerging Societies Program (ESP)
In order to advance the WAO mission of supporting developments that will enable allergists to better serve patients in future, the ESP aims to disseminate information on and share experiences about new treatments for allergic disease and about new indications for available therapies.
The Meetings of the ESP are structured to enable new and emerging allergy societies to interface with the WAO, and to help them develop their society in a way which will make it compatible with WAO's Membership Criteria. WAO wishes to outreach to its National Member Societies and to emerging societies in various regions to promote education in allergy and to assist societies in the promotion and development of the specialty of allergy. The ESP enables WAO's leadership to learn more about the challenges faced in countries where the specialty of allergy is either non-existent, or is developing, and how the Organization can best assist these efforts.
