The message reads, in part:
“The foundations of the paediatric haematology service were laid by eminent scientists, leading physicians, healthcare organisers, and true champions of their cause.
Thanks to the professionalism, dedication, and tireless research of several generations of brilliant specialists, cutting-edge technologies and methods for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation have been developed and implemented in our country, and respected scientific and clinical schools have been established.
I hope that during the congress you will discuss the most important and pressing issues shaping the directions and avenues for further development of paediatric haematology, oncology, and immunology, as well as a number of related fields, and that you will contribute to the search for the most effective ways to combat dangerous diseases.”
