President’s New Year Message

Esteemed Colleagues,

As we enter a new year, I extend my greetings to you with respect and affection, and I wish that 2026 will be a year full of health, peace, and professional achievements for all of us.

We are intensively working on a qualified and comprehensive training activity plan covering the next two years. We aim to announce our training calendar and open our activities for our members’ applications in a short period. Furthermore, we will initiate the tender process for our National Gastroenterology Congress, one of our association’s most important projects, and select our congress organization company. Our preparatory work for new projects is also rapidly continuing.

In this process, I would like to emphasize that all your opinions, suggestions, and feedback are extremely valuable to us. We do not view your contributions as criticism, but as guidance that strengthens us. Please do not hesitate to share your views with us.

With the goal of making Türk Gastroenteroloji Derneği a stronger, more participatory, and more productive organization, we will continue to work with your support.

I wish the new year brings hope, success, and positive developments for our association and our community, and I wish all our members a year full of health and happiness.

Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Ayhan Hilmi ÇEKİN
President of Türk Gastroenteroloji Derneği
