Dear collegues! The current issue of the journal has been timed to coincide with the VI Russian Congress of Mayors of Resort Cities "The role of health resort industry in the development of medical tourism, economy and infrastructure of resort cities", which will be held in the Chechen Republic on 17–18 October 2024. It seems important that the I Groznensky Forum of Medical Rehabilitation and Balneology will be held within the framework of the congress.

The health resort industry has recently experienced a period of rapid growth, largely due to increased attention from the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, heads of the Russian Federation constituent entities, as well as the medical community and patients.

It is evident that medical tourism has witnessed a period of sustained growth in recent times. This industry, however, also demands the input of scientific expertise in the form of support and forecasting.

During the days of VI Russian Congress of Mayors of Resort Cities we will be pleased to share our experience in organising health resort treatment and medical tourism in the Chechen Republic, and exchange relevant information and new knowledge with colleagues from different regions. It seems important that representatives of the medical community of the Chechen Republic are actively involved in publications in this journal and in scientific schedule of the Congress.

Today, the health resort complex of the Chechen Republic consists of modern multidisciplinary medical institutions with experienced doctors and medical professionals, innovative and high-tech medical equipment using natural wealth — natural therapeutic resources.

We wish you fruitful work. We thank you for your participation in the Congress and we will be looking forward to seeing you again!

Sincerely,

Assistant to the Head of the Chechen Republic

Khutmat R. Kadyrova
