Dear All,

I am writing to inform you that the ISH 2020 Organizing Committee have made a decision to postpone the 38th World Congress of International Society of Hematology (ISH 2020) from September 13 -16, 2020 to March 8-10, 2021 at Centara Grand, Central World, Bangkok.

Due to the growing global crisis from the highly contagious nature of the COVID-19, which has already affected many countries, we are not sure that this pandemics will be over in a short period from now on. We must announce this postponement as early as we can in order that attendees of the congress can arrange their trip accordingly.

The decision to postpone the ISH 2020 is not an easy one, as we know that the approached speakers have already marked their calendar and the agreement with the venue has been signed. However, the health and safety of those who would travel from all over the world is our first and foremost concern.

Please accept our sincere apologies. Your appreciation and understanding on the rescheduling of ISH 2020 are much appreciated.

Best regards,
Wichai Prayoonwiwat
President of 38th World Congress of International Society of Hematology
