Dear Esteemed Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the organizing committee, it is my great honor and pleasure to welcome you to the International Diabetes & Endocrinology Conference (IDEC). We are delighted to gather once again—this time on 23rd and 24th August 2025 at the Melia Hotel, Yangon, Myanmar—in the spirit of scientific advancement, collaboration, and our shared commitment to improving patient care in the fields of endocrinology and diabetes.

This year’s theme, “Advancing Care in Diabetes and Endocrinology,” reflects our collective pursuit of progress—from integrating emerging technologies to enhancing multidisciplinary approaches in patient management. Over the next two days, we will hear from an impressive roster of regional and international experts, whose insights will guide us through the latest developments in pituitary disorders, thyroid diseases, metabolic bone health, adrenal pathologies, diabetes prevention, and more.

Our conference is designed not only to disseminate cutting-edge knowledge but also to foster meaningful dialogue and partnerships. The scientific program is enriched with focused symposia, clinical case discussions, and interactive sessions that promise to challenge our perspectives and inspire new ideas.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to our distinguished speakers, sponsors, and all participants for your support and dedication. Your presence here underscores the strength and unity of our growing medical community in Myanmar and beyond.

Let us embrace this opportunity to learn, connect, and continue building a future where compassionate, evidence-based care is the standard for every person living with endocrine or metabolic disease.

Prof. Ko Ko
