Dear Colleagues!
With great pleasure I’d like to announce the IV Congress of ANNIS «Multidisciplinarity and Differentiation of Trends in Modern Nephrology» to be held for the first time in MINSK, the Republic of Belarus in September 29-30, 2016.
Its 10 years since the new stage of development of national nephrology has been reached. This stage is related to the first experience of participation of the Republic of Belarus in Sister Renal Centers Program organized by International Society of Nephrology (ISN). Since 2006 Oxford Nephrology and Transplantology Center has been European partner for Belarusian nephrology specialists. It gave up birth to efficient long-term collaboration and friendship between Belarusian nephrology specialists and their colleagues from Lithuania, Germany, Belgium, USA, France etc.
Over the last few years nephrology and renal-replacement therapy in Belarus and other ANNIS member countries has developed greatly. Provision of this type of help is reaching its optimum quality. ANNIS congresses give an opportunity to share research results with world-class specialists in nephrology. IV Congress of ANNIS will become an ideal opportunity for exchange of knowledge and experience in order to strengthen the standards of nephrological care provision in our countries.
On behalf of the local organizing committee I’m very glad to welcome all the guests from ANNIS member countries, from Europe as well as from USA to Minsk. I hope that you will take full advantage of provided opportunity to gain knowledge. I also hope that you will be vigorously involved in all the Congress activities, as well as you will duly appreciate hospitality and beauty of our city.
Oleg Kalachik
Chairman of the local organizing committee,
Vice-President of ANNIS
