In addition to our geographical aligned structures (North, East, South and West Africa), PASCAR Task Forces bring together representatives from key cardiovascular subspecialties such as interventional cardiology, life style risk modification and allied catheterisation laboratory professionals. Professor Bongani Mayosi has stated that PASCAR will actively engage with Africa, North of the Sahara to become an active contributing region in PASCAR. This has culminated in the PASCAR 2015 Congress being awarded to the Tunisia Cardiac Society.
