38th Congress of the
Fetus as a Patient Society
& 25. NOVAKOVI DNEVI

Invitation

Dear colleagues, we are delighted to invite you to the 38th Fetus as a Patient Congress, which will take place in Ljubljana from May 14 to 16, 2025. Perinatal, fetal, and neonatal medicine is quickly evolving, and research continues to provide us with new insights and information that are only sometimes easy to translate into clinical practice.

We are increasingly encountering rare cases of diseases and their treatment options that require greater knowledge and experience. Along with fetal medicine, both screening and diagnostic genetic tests are developing rapidly, leaving us in a position where, on the one hand, we are unable to clearly explain the findings. On the other hand, they provide us with explanations to previously inexplicable conditions. At the same time, artificial intelligence is swiftly and uncontrollably entering our professional work and relationships with future or new parents. We will shed light on the knowledge and dilemmas we all encounter on a daily basis through lectures, your invaluable contributions, and open discussion. The workshops will help enhance the knowledge necessary for our daily work.

Recognizing the challenges of balancing professional responsibilities, personal life, and global situations, we planned the 38th Fetus as a Patient Congress to be as accessible as possible. We will hold the congress in a hybrid format, allowing for both in-person and online participation.

Nonetheless, we must not underestimate the value of personal interaction, the potential for establishing new connections that will enhance our clinical and research work, and the simple joy of socializing. This congress offers a unique opportunity to expand your professional network and engage in meaningful conversations with colleagues from all across the world. We are eagerly anticipating your participation at this enriching and insightful event.

On behalf of the organizing committee, I warmly invite you to the 38th Fetus as a Patient Congress in Ljubljana. We are looking forward to welcoming you and to your valuable contributions to our discussions and workshops.
