Infectious pathogens are constantly evolving, challenging medical advances again and again. Practical healthcare professionals must always maintain professional vigilance.

With great pleasure, I invite you to visit the 2nd International Infectious Diseases Forum, a new, unique space for interdisciplinary communication between Russian and foreign experts whose activities are related to the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases.

This event will be an excellent opportunity to comprehensively consider topical issues of infectious diseases in the light of the latest achievements in medical science and practice. Recognized experts in the fields of viral hepatitis, acute respiratory diseases, intestinal, parasitic, and fungal infections, and neuroinfections will speak all at the Forum. Interdisciplinary sessions will bring together infectious disease specialists and doctors of related specialties: obstetrician/gynecologists, urologists, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, nephrologists, allergologists, immunologists, and many others.

The program includes plenary and section sessions, symposiums, round tables, training sessions, and practical master classes. The event will also host a meeting of the profile commission on infectious diseases of the Ministry of Health of Russia.

A separate feature of the Forum is the involvement of and support for novice specialists - students and residents for whom the Young Infectionist School and the Student Olympics on Infectious Diseases will be organized. This format will allow the formation of a strong scientific and practical community capable of successfully performing professional tasks, strengthening the spirit of mentoring, and facilitating the development of young professionals who look confidently to the future.

I am convinced, dear colleagues, that the days at the Forum will be very fruitful. New acquaintances and friendly meetings with like-minded colleagues, lively debates, and new ideas are waiting for us!
