Message from the Editor

Dear ICOH members,

Warm greetings to all. Welcome to the second edition of the ICOH Newsletter for 2026.

This year marks a truly monumental milestone for our community as we proudly celebrate the 120th anniversary of the First International Congress on Occupational Diseases and the foundation of ICOH. This occasion is a testament to our enduring commitment to protecting workers in a changing world.

As we reflect on our rich history, we also prepare for the future. In this issue, you will find important announcements regarding the candidates for the upcoming elections of ICOH Officers and members of the Board for the 2027-2030 Triennium. I encourage all members to review the candidates and prepare for the upcoming electronic voting process.

I am deeply grateful for your unwavering support and the valuable contributions to the ICOH Newsletter. For this issue, we received an abundance of excellent manuscripts, opinions, and reports from our Scientific Committees, National Secretaries, and members worldwide. Your active participation ensures that the ICOH Newsletter continues to be a meaningful and inclusive platform for learning and connection.

Thank you for being part of this global community and bringing us closer together as a global family. I hope you find this issue both informative and inspiring.
