The AFMAPATH (Association Franco Marocaine de Pathologie Thoracique) held its 7th annual conference on 9 and April 10 at  our Hotel Erfoud Kasbah, with an extensive scientific program of lectures on the subject (http://afmapath.org / progsc.php) combined with a very entertaining social program with excursions 4x4, quad biking, cultural visits etc.. It is a pleasure to welcome them and hope to see them next year again to share together the magic of the desert.
