Invitation
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to invite you to a unique event, the 3rd National Endometriosis Conference.
This Conference, eagerly anticipated by many of us each year, will take place on March 6-7, 2026 again in Krakow, at the Park Inn by Radisson hotel, at ul. Monte Cassino 2. In a city where history emerges from every corner – it was here that Professor Maurycy Madurowicz founded the Polish Society of Gynecologists and Obstetricians over 100 years ago – and where in recent years the most prestigious medical conferences, both national and international, have been held.
Endometriosis is a condition that dramatically affects the lives of thousands of women in our country – epidemiological estimates indicate 800,000 affected women in Poland. This is primarily related to the pain it causes and fertility problems. These two most important issues will be extensively discussed by the most distinguished experts from Poland and abroad during next year’s Conference.
Participants will also have the opportunity to attend lectures on the latest methods and techniques of non-invasive endometriosis diagnosis and the current status of nationwide research on endometriosis biomarkers.
The Conference will conclude with a round table discussion on the first 6 months of the Comprehensive Care Program for Endometriosis Patients, with participation from representatives of all 8 reference centers, the National Consultant for Obstetrics and Gynecology, patient organization representatives, and the Ministry of Health.
The second day of the Conference will be dedicated to holistic care for endometriosis patients. For the first time, Conference participants will have the opportunity to learn about the perspective and role of physiotherapists, midwives, and nurses specialized in endometriosis treatment.
We hope that, following the example of previous Conference editions which gathered nearly 500 participants each, this one will also receive your warm welcome. We would be honored and delighted if you decide to participate in this event and spend these extraordinary two days with us next year.
See you in Krakow!
