The Gulf Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (GA²CI) is a regional scientific and educational initiative dedicated to advancing the field of allergy and clinical immunology across the Gulf region. It serves as an  educational platform that brings together allergists, immunologists and related healthcare providers  including pulmonologists, dermatologists, ENT specialists, rheumatologists and researchers with the shared goal of improving clinical practice, education, and patient care in allergic and immune-mediated diseases. 

​

GA²CI organizes advanced educational events such as workshops, masterclasses and conferences focused on key topics in allergy and immunology—for example, training on inborn errors of immunity and other complex immune disorders—aimed at enhancing clinical knowledge and practical skills among healthcare professionals in the region. The academy works collaboratively with regional and international societies, including theEuropean Academy of Allergy & Clinical Immunology (EAACI), Global Allergy and Asthma European Network (GA²LEN), Società Italiana di Reumatologia (SIR), European Society for Immunodeficiencies (ESID), European Respiratory Society (ERS), Qatar Allergy  Immunology Society (QAIS) and others, to promote scientific exchange, research, and professional development.

​

Through its programs and events, GA²CI contributes to strengthening evidence-based clinical care for allergic and immunologic conditions such as asthma, urticaria, immunodeficiencies, atopic dermatitis  and other immune-related diseases. Its activities help clinicians stay updated on emerging diagnostics, therapies, and management strategies.

​

GA²CI plays a key role in fostering a community of expertise across the Gulf region, and beyond to share insights, innovations, and best practices in the diagnosis and care of allergy and immunology patients. 

​

In summary, the Gulf Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology is an important regional forum focused on education, collaboration, and clinical excellence in the rapidly evolving fields of allergy and clinical immunology.
