The African Society for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery (ASPCHS) is the scientific society of pediatric and congenital heart surgeons and allied specialists of Africa. The inception of ASPCHS followed a town hall meeting with a focus on Africa initiated by the World Society for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery (WSPCHS) in May 2020. ASPCHS was thus developed through close collaboration with the WSPCHS. We accept members from all 55 Member States of the Africa Union (AU) divided into five geographic regions as defined by the AU
