Dear colleagues and friends!

Organizing an annual pathoanatomical conference in Sumy has been my long-standing dream. I have always strived to create a platform for like-minded people to meet in a warm and welcoming professional environment. Although frontline Slobozhanshchyna is not currently suitable for large gatherings, the online format makes it possible to hold the event. We hope for a successful start of the conference for its sustainable and vibrant development in a peaceful future.

I am pleased to invite you to participate in a comprehensive scientific and practical event that will take place on May 21, 2026, at Sumy State University.
