I would like to express my gratitude and respect to you who have always made a great effort to keep maternal and fetal health at the difficult medical site where an atmosphere of communication disappeared due to the COVID-19 pandemic and mothers who were confirmed of diagnosis of COVID-19 delivered children in ambulances because they could not find the appropriate hospitals.

The Society of Maternal Fetal Medicine has contributed to development of the Korean maternal and fetal field through conferences, training lectures, and educational courses every year. The Society of Maternal Fetal Medicine will celebrate its 30th anniversary since it was first established in 1994.

I will make a great effort to become an exemplary medical society in Asia through active research support of 9 ones including the Society of Premature Birth and the Society of Gestational Diabetes as I became the president this time. And I try to devise a model which researches and industrializes the developed results to be connected to patents and technical transfer for actual clinical application.

And I will make the establishment of a guide for using medical abortion which became an issue due to the repeal of the abortion laws top priority. And I continue to agonize about how to the members can safely deliver children in the difficult situations that high risk mothers increase with the serious low birth rate and try to discuss the solutions.

Finally, to revitalize research of new young manpower in the Society of Maternal Fetal Medicine, I try to make a tentatively named 'a prize for maternal and fetal medicine' for those who write many international theses and plan to develop studies on maternal and fetal medicine in the future with an academic prize for ferring for professors of middle standing.

The Society of Maternal Fetal Medicine will promise you to devote itself to develop Korean maternal and fetal medicine by listening to you at the medical site and we hope that you will be healthy and happy. Thank you.
