The development of medicine, particularly in the field of Internal Medicine and psychosomatics, has advanced significantly over the past few decades. Increasing evidence highlights the close relationship between physical and mental conditions in various diseases. In addressing today's global challenges, psychosomatic medicine plays a crucial role in understanding and managing disorders that involve the complex interaction between the mind and body. Cross-cultural integration in health systems is very important, given the diversity of cultural backgrounds that influence individual attitudes and behaviors in responding to diseases and their treatment.

Through the theme "Transforming Psychosomatic Medicine in a Challenging World: Cross-Cultural Integration in Healthcare Systems," this scientific meeting aims to explore new ways of integrating the principles of psychosomatic medicine with cross-cultural understanding in health systems. As such, medical professionals can be better prepared to face the challenges that exist, as well as improve the quality of care provided to patients from different cultural backgrounds. This activity will be held through scientific symposiums and interactive workshops.
