Dear Readers,
the 23rd IMEK began on June 28, 2025 and took place at the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences in Kaunas (Lithuania), where the main theme of our congress will be realized: PREVENTION – DIAGNOSIS – TREATMENT – REHABILITATION OF CIVILIZATION DISEASES. According to current information, many medical professionals are interested in our congress and offer interesting lectures to present during scientific sessions. The Solemn Closing of the 23rd IMEK will take place on July 5, 2025.
We would now like to point out that if all goes well, after the 23rd IMEK in Kaunas, the 24th IMEK will take place in Kraków (Poland), when we intend to organize the jubilee 24th IMEK in July 2027. On this occasion,
I would like to remind all interested parties that the 1st IMEK conference took place in 1977 and was organized on my initiative and on the initiative of the then Secretary of UMEA, Dr. Imre Ferenczy (Hungary), my dear friend and eminent and outstanding Esperanto physician. This conference took place thanks to the extensive support of the then Rector of the Nicolaus Copernicus Medical Academy in Kraków, His Excellency Rector Professor Tadeusz Popiela. The Solemn Opening Ceremony of the 23rd IMEK took place on June 29, in which Dr. Vytenis Povilas Andriukaitis, former Minister of Health of Lithuania, MEP, Member of the European Parliament, former Commissioner – the high patron of the 23rd IMEK – participated and delivered a speech. Then the Honorary Patrons of the 23rd IMEK, Professor Rimantas Benetis, Rector of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences in Kaunas (Lithuania) and Professor Maciej Małecki, Vice-Rector of the Jagiellonian University for the Medical College in Kraków (Poland) spoke. Then Lina Šukytė-Korsakė – Member of the Lithuanian Parliament, Chairwoman of the Health Committee of the LR Parliament, Dr. Laimutė Vaidelienė – Deputy Minister of Health of Lithuania, Vaida Aleknavičienė – Member of the Lithuanian Parliament, Chairwoman of the Education and Science Committees of the LR Parliament spoke. During the inauguration of our congress, the following also spoke: Professor Andrius Macas, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, President of the Scientific Committee of the 23rd IMEC, Professor Ramunė Morkūnienė, Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences in Kaunas, Vice-President of the Scientific Committee of the 23rd IMEC, Professor Marcin Kołaczkowski, Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy of the Medical College of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Professor Włodzimierz Opoka, Faculty of Pharmacy of the Medical College of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków (Poland), Dr. Christoph Klawe – President of the Universal Medical Esperanto Association (Germany), and welcomed the participants to Kaunas by Associate Professor Silvija Rakutienė, President of the Organizing Committee of the 23rd IMEC – Head of the Department of Languages and Education of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences. The Solemn Opening Ceremony was perfectly led by Professor Raimonda Brunevičiūtė – host of the Opening Ceremony of the 23rd IMEK.
In conclusion, I would like to express my hope that later the authors of lectures presented during the 23rd IMEK will send their articles to the Editorial Committee of MIR.
