Welcome to the Innovation and Health Summit
Nina Freysen-Pretorius
Operations Director, Innovation and Health Summit
I have been passionately involved in the conference and meeting sector for the last 22 years and decided to create an event that crosses over and engages on multiple levels.
Both my sons where born with a Congenital Adrenal Deficiency namely Addison’s Disease. This necessitates that they take chronic medication daily to address the deficiency. The challenge that we face is that this disease is not only about managing and monitoring their cortisol levels but also their response to communicable illness and its impact in order to monitor their bodies response.
