This is the official website of the South African Rheumatism and Arthritis Association, home of the rheumatology community of South Africa. Our aim is to promote, maintain and protect the honour and interest of the discipline of rheumatology as a medical specialty for the benefit of all.
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is as common as other childhood conditions like epilepsy and diabetes, but is diagnosed far less frequently. Everyone needs to know that kids get arthritis too.
