First and foremost, on behalf of the Mongolian Society of Dermatologists, an organization with a rich 68-year history, I would like to extend my warm greetings to all of you, my dear colleagues!

The 4th Congress of Mongolian Dermatologists is especially significant as it coincides with the Government of Mongolia’s declaration of the 2023-2025 Year of Visiting Mongolia. Therefore, dear colleagues—welcome to sunny Mongolia!

The Mongolian Society of Dermatologists is proud to have joined the International League of Dermatological Societies in 2007 as its 100th member.

I am confident that our professional services can provide essential care to anyone with skin diseases, wherever they live or work, especially during times of greatest need.

This 4th Congress, held once every four years, will be a particularly important event that will set the direction for the contemporary management and treatment of rare and increasingly prevalent skin diseases worldwide.

For us, any event organized by a professional association is a key platform for mutual growth and learning. As such, the Mongolian Society of Dermatologists is proud to host the "Managing Approaches for Dermatology and Venereology Congress 2025."

I am truly honored and excited to be a co-organizer of the 4th Congress of the Mongolian Society of Dermatologists—an event that marks a historic milestone.

The Department of Prevention and Treatment of Sexually Transmitted Diseases holds a crucial role within the National Center for Communicable Diseases. Originally part of the Unified Center for Dermatology, this department was officially transferred in 1994 following an order issued by the Governor of the Capital City.

This congress presents a valuable opportunity to foster successful collaboration between governmental and non-governmental organizations. Our shared goal is to enhance the knowledge and skills of medical professionals dedicated to combating sexually transmitted infections.

Additionally, this platform allows us to exchange insights with esteemed doctors from around the world. Despite advancements in medical science, sexually transmitted infections and other infectious diseases continue to pose significant challenges. I strongly believe that this congress will serve as an excellent forum for the exchange of best practices from different countries. I encourage you all to contribute thought-provoking research and insightful presentations, helping to advance our collective efforts in tackling these pressing health concerns.
