We have been preparing to hold the 43rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the Japanese Society of Hypertension in October 2020 in Okinawa. However, with a state of emergency over the COVID-19 pandemic declared nationwide, the whole of Japan is working to prevent it from spreading.

Since it is not clear how the situation will unfold, we have decided to postpone the 43rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the Japanese Society of Hypertension for one year, until the autumn of 2021, in Okinawa. The dates, venue and other details about the meeting will be announced later.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused, and would highly appreciate your understanding and continued support.

We praise the medical professionals fighting the COVID-19 pandemic and hope that the crisis will soon become a thing of the past.
