We are honored to invite not only the Family Medicine branch but also all branches that we manage diseases together with a multidisciplinary approach to our third International Eastern Black Sea Family Medicine Congress to be held on May 22-24, 2025 at Ordu, Türkiye.
In our congress, with the participation of our speakers who have knowledge and experience in the national and international fields, we have prepared a strong program that will contribute to our practical applications with rich scientific content in the light of current literature information. A congress awaits us with trainings, oral presentations, hours where we find answers to our questions in hybrid sessions with interactive participation, and social programs where we will get away from fatigue and stress.
We are looking forward to the participation of our guests from all our provinces, especially the Black Sea Region, and from various countries of the world in our congress.
Therefore, we are announcing free online registration bursaries for 20 international participants who will present their papers in our congress.
Winners of the scholarship will be selected according to the acceptance date of the oral presentation. For more information please visit our website: www.kahsed.com
Our unity will add strength to our strength and carry the value and vision of the Family Medicine specialty discipline to higher levels for the future. Hope to see you at our congress.
Best regards,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee

Happy World Family Doctor Day
Dear colleagues, Happy World Family Doctor Day!
This year we celebrate with the theme:Healthy People, Healthy Planet
Watch this great video by Wonca World below and be sure to share it.
If you haven’t yet be sure to check the Planetary Health Repository, full of resources and information to help you make this year theme a reality.
Aligned with this year theme and the 2023 WONCA Europe’s Family Medicine Definition, three members of the executive, with two other family doctors, published an article on Sustainable Healthcare Knowledge and WONCA Europe’s New Family Medicine Definition.
Advocating for urgent global issues is only possible if adequate knowledge is possessed and effectively communicated. Raising awareness on the new definition of Family Medicine by WONCA Europe is therefore pivotal to positively impact our communities, patients, and the environment.
