Message from UEMS President

​
The 1st UEMS Congress will be an opportunity to gather the many voices shaping the future of medical practice in Europe. 
Rooted in our shared commitment to excellence in healthcare and patient care, the 1st UEMS Congress will bring together medical specialists, educators, trainees, policymakers, and partners from across the continent and beyond.
This Congress is more than an event—it is a platform to strengthen collaboration, celebrate innovation, and champion the continuous advancement of European medical standards. It is a testament to the vision and dedication of the UEMS and our partners, and an invitation to shape the next chapter of specialist medical care together.
