Welcome Note

Dear Colleagues

It is great pleasure for Us to welcome You to the XXXIX. Alpe Adria Meeting of Perinatal Medicine in Hungary.

When last time in 2012, we had the pleasure to organize and host of the XXXIV. Alpe Adria Meeting the participants expressed their wish to discover other parts of Hungary than Szeged. Therefore the Organizing Committee decided to organize the meeting at near lake Balaton, which is at last but not least closer to the Western border.

The present program is sharply focused to the improve of perinatal outcome, and perinatal mortality rates.
Therefore in collaboration with our colleagues from neighbouring and near countries (Austria, Croatia, Italy and Slovenia), we try to emphasize the importance of making efforts in this matter.


The topics as the Scientific Committee decided in 2016, Zagreb are:

  • Maternal, fetal and neonatal mortality
  • Mode and location of delivery and perinatal outcome

One special lecture of common interest dealing with the anaesthesiological aspects of perinatology is presented at the meeting.

By these words on behalf of the organizers we wish you a successful preparation and fruitful meeting in Tapolca, Hungary.

We think that the scientific and social programs and not at least the weather will provide you a memorable stay in Hungary.
