7th World Congress of the World Federation of Associations of Pediatric Surgeons (WOFAPS)

President of the 7th WOFAPS World Congress

It is my great pleasure to invite you to the 7th World Congress of the World Federation of Associations of Pediatric Surgeons (WOFAPS), which will take place in Prague, Czech Republic in October 2022. We are living in a century of fascinating development of information technology and information sharing through the Internet and social networks during the Covid-19 pandemic has completely changed the way people communicate with each other, including congresses and professional meetings.

However, even a organised online congress is no substitute for face-to-face meetings in professional and social discussions. That is why I would like to invite you to a classic, face-to-face congress of pediatric surgery in Prague, a charming city in the heart of Europe.

I believe that after two long years of virtual reality, it will be the right time for the world community of pediatric surgeons to meet in person. The main topics of the congress, with the participation of many personalities from the world of pediatric surgery, will certainly reflect the latest trends in education, clinical practice and research.

I am convinced that in the atmosphere of historic Prague we will appreciate together the irreplaceable value of personal meetings and working friendships for the further development of global pediatric surgery in every country and all over the world.

Prof. Michal Rygl, MD, Ph.D.
President of the 7^th WOFAPS World Congress
