INVITATION

Dear colleagues,

It is our pleasure and privilege to invite you to attend the 10th South East European Congress of Perinatal Medicine (SEESPM) (October25-26,2024) and the 14th Maternal Fetal Medicine and Perinatology Society of Turkiye (TMFTPD) (October 23-26, 2024) which will be held in Istanbul, Turkiye. The Congress venue is “Hilton Istanbul Bakirkoy”.

The SEESPM is a scientific organization on perinatal Medicine which was founded in 2002. The primary purpose of the Society is to improve the knowledge and skills of physicians practicing in 13 South East European countries and to strengthen their friendships. The congresses of SEESPM are organized every two years with the contributions of the perinatal societies of Albania, Bulgaria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Moldavia, Montenegro, N. Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Turkiye.

Perinatology aims to raise healthy generations for societies and protect maternal health. Developments in perinatology, genetics and neonatology have facilitated the follow-up of high-risk pregnancies and ensure the birth of healthier babies.

Perinatal medicine has a major implication not only for the individuals but also for the societies. The philosophy of this societies is not based only to the exchange of expertise between Obstetricians, Neonatologists and any staff dealing with birth, but especially on friendship. Nevertheless, we need to expand our societies, increase cooperation’s between the member countries and be able to withdraw our own perinatal results. In this Congress many topics related to this subject will be discussed by experienced lecturers.

Istanbul is the largest city in Turkiye, serving as the country's economic, cultural, and historic hub. The city straddles the Bosporus Strait, lying in both Europe and Asia, and has a population of over 20 million residents. The history of the city is very old and dates to 3000 years.

The weather will be very nice in October. We believe that the beauties of Istanbul and the level of the Congress will make you happy.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we look forward to seeing you at the Congress and wish you a pleasant stay in Istanbul.

“We are waiting for you in Istanbul, the meeting point of the world.”
