At present, the AFOR has for objective to federate the international practitioners and to develop the exchanges of the knowledge and the techniques thanks to the developments:

  • Of a system of digital communication: a forum of exchange of files and discussions

Our pride: Our association is the first French association of ENT which was born for the care of the destructive respiratory illnesses of the sleep and is the association which federates most practitioners thanks to the quality of Somnoforum
