Congress Invitation
Dear Healthcare Professionals,
We are coming together once again in the fields of burn care and chronic wound management, areas that often remain in the background of medicine yet stand at the very center of human life.
Following the “Wound–Burn Symposium” held in 2023 under the leadership of Ahmet Çınar Yastı, we are pleased to share our excitement in organizing the second Wound–Burn Congress in Antalya in 2026.
Throughout this congress, we will address a broad spectrum of topics ranging from clinical experience to academic research, from emerging therapeutic approaches to the organization and delivery of healthcare services, thereby bringing our knowledge, experience, and visions into meaningful dialogue.
It will be an honor to welcome all physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, and all stakeholders devoted to burn and wound care and contributing to this field.
We look forward to welcoming you to this distinguished event where science, dedicated effort, and professional solidarity converge.
We look forward to meeting you at the congress.
Sincerely,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee
