Africa STEMI is a Pan-African initiative focused on improving systems of care for patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS), particularly ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). Launched in 2016, Africa STEMI is dedicated to finding innovative, practical solutions for delivering timely, life-saving cardiac care in resource-limited settings across the continent.

At the heart of this initiative is Africa STEMI Live!, an annual conference offering learning and collaboration for everyone involved in the patient journey—from the onset of symptoms to treatment in the cath lab. Whether you’re a paramedic, nurse, cath lab nurse, emergency physician, interventional cardiologist, echo technician, radiologist, or any healthcare professional in between, Africa STEMI Live! provides valuable insights, skills development, and systems-based solutions to improve outcomes in ACS care.

The meeting has been described as the most effective African annual cardiovascular networking platform and has continued to grow year after year since its inception in 2016.
