Dear Colleagues,

2021 has been a tough and challenging year for everybody. As the new year approaches I would like to congratulate everyone’s new year and state that we are looking forward to the new year full of hope. New steps are taken everyday to improve our conditions.

It was not possible to conduct our yearly National Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology last year; however we were able to meet with our colleagues and have shared the latest breakthroughs face-to-face in the meeting at the start of December. I was heartwarming to be able to meet again and we are eternally grateful and thankful to anyone who joined us in the convention.

I would like to thank our Editor-in-Chief Eray Çalışkan Prof, MD, for his efforts and contributions for the Journal, and all colleagues who contributed who made this journal the number one scientific journal. We aim to make this journal even better and more successful in the future. As the Turkish Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, we are looking forward to your valuable submissions to publish in our journal and so we can contribute to medicine together.

Sincerely,

Ateş Karateke, Prof. MD
President of TJOD
