The following announcement was made on the Waccbip Legon facebook page.
“Regrettably, although we were excited to host you, it has become necessary to cancel this year’s WACCBIP Research Conference in line with global recommendations on safety, travel and social distancing as we fight the current COVID-19 pandemic.

We are expectant that the global crisis would ease within the next few months and are hopeful that you will be able to join us for next year’s conference, which we expect to host in July 2021.

We are always grateful for your support and we hope everyone stays safe & healthy.”
