XVIII DANUBE SYMPOSIUM OF NEPHROLOGY (September 27-28) will be held in Novi Sad, 2006. As organizers, we did our best to distribute information to all surrounding Danube Countries but major activity was left for local representatives, Committee members of the Danube Meeting (in Hungary, it is Dr Sonkody Sandor).

Deadline for abstract was May 31 and, unfortunately, we did not get any abstract from Hungary. Needless to say how much we appreciate our Hungarian colleagues and friends and how sorry we are for not having their abstract.

Even it is very late, I would appreciate very much if you may animate your doctors who may attend the Meeting and participate with their abstracts. Please, note that they may use on line sending (www.nephrology-scg.com).

Each year there is a general theme, and this year it is 'New problems, new solutions'. We aim to focus on recent developments, particularly in investigations, therapy and relevant policy. It is a time of great change for community child health, and although this sometimes seems to be about organisations and management, this conference offers the opportunity to see beyond this to the changes for children, parents, doctors, and nurses which will revolutionise research, investigation and management of many of the illnesses, disabilities, and public health problems we all currently face.
