Dear Esteemed Colleagues,

On behalf of the organizing committee, it is our immense pleasure to invite you to Haematocon 2025 - the 66^th Annual Conference of Indian Society of Hematology & Blood Transfusion. It is the premier conference for professionals in the field of Haematology.

The theme of the conference is Innovations in Hematology: Shaping the Future of Diagnosis and Treatment

Haematocon has consistently served as a dynamic platform for presenting cutting-edge research, fostering collaboration, and advancing the discipline of Haematology. This year's program promises to feature keynote addresses, scientific talks, panel discussions, workshops and oral or poster presentations on a diverse range of topics.

As the field of Haematology continues to evolve at a remarkable pace, it is important to recognize the significant impact these advancements can have, particularly in settings like India, where access to healthcare resources may be limited. Innovative approaches and emerging technologies are bridging these gaps, offering new hope to those in need.

Collaboration between researchers, healthcare providers, policymakers, and non-governmental organizations is crucial for driving progress. By building partnerships and maximizing available resources, we can work toward ensuring that the benefits of Haematology reach the most under served communities.

As we push the boundaries of this field, let us remain mindful of the need for inclusivity and accessibility. Together, we can harness the full potential of Haematology to improve healthcare outcomes and make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals in resource-limited settings.

Thank you for your commitment to advancing Haematology and your dedication to serving all communities, regardless of socioeconomic status.

We are excited to host Haematocon 2025 in Lucknow, a city known for its rich cultural heritage and renowned hospitality. We look forward to welcoming you and engaging in a vibrant exchange of knowledge and ideas.

Warm regards,
