摘要
International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) is committed to promoting the care of those with musculoskeletal diseases. To further this aim, ILAR sponsors visiting professorships to countries with minimal or underdeveloped rheumatology services to promote the awareness and improve skills in the management of musculoskeletal conditions. Professor Luis Espinoza was sponsored and visited Kenya in March 2005.
