Dear Colleagues,
It is our great honor and pleasure to invite you to participate in the
5th International Congress of Nurses,
which will take place from 2 to 4 October 2026
at Hotel "Drim" in Struga, Republic of North Macedonia.
This year's Congress is organized under the motto "Caring for Those Who Care for Everyone", emphasizing the importance of safeguarding the health, well-being, and professional support of nurses, nursing technicians, and midwives—healthcare professionals who dedicate themselves every day to caring for patients and who represent an indispensable pillar of the healthcare system.
The Congress will bring together nurses, nursing technicians, and midwives from the country and abroad, providing an excellent platform for professional discussion, exchange of knowledge and experience, presentation of contemporary and innovative practices, as well as the establishment of new professional collaborations and partnerships.
A special highlight of this year's program will be the Third International Summit of Nursing Associations, Organizations, and Federations, further strengthening the Congress's international character, reputation, and significance as a platform for regional and international cooperation.
As part of the official ceremony, the "Slavjanka Vlahcheva" First-Class Charter and Decoration will be awarded. This distinguished recognition is traditionally presented to individuals whose long-standing dedication, professionalism, and outstanding contributions have significantly advanced, promoted, and strengthened the nursing profession.
The Congress is organized by the Association of Nurses, Technicians and Midwives "ZA NAS" of Macedonia, under the leadership of the Union of Associations of Nurses, Technicians and Midwives of Macedonia, which once again demonstrates exceptional professionalism, commitment, and responsibility in organizing this prestigious international professional event.
