Dear Colleagues,

As you know, the 16th edition of our National Pain Congress, which is held every two years, was planned to be held in November 2020. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it had to be postponed in our Pain Congress like all other congresses. The board of directors of our association decided to organize the 16th National Pain Congress on 11-14 November 2021 at Mirage Park congress center in Kemer, Antalya due to the uncertainty of the situation.

In our congress, which will be equipped with rich and satisfying sessions on every subject that is of interest to the science of algology, we will try to bring our participants together with the authors on related subjects with many theoretical and practical courses.

In our congress, where we invite all our physicians, especially the experts and assistants of the three major branches of Algology, algology specialists and assistants, we aim to create a suitable environment for the hours outside the scientific program.

We wish you all healthy days to meet in Antalya at the 16th National Pain Congress on November 11-14, 2021, with the hope that these unpleasant days, where social life has stopped and all meetings and congresses have to be postponed, will be left behind as soon as possible.

Prof. Dr. Mehmet Sacit Güleç
On Behalf of the Board of the Turkish Algology - Pain Association
