• Brazil is a world reference in Dermatology, with over 8,500 members in the Brazilian Society of Dermatology and many studies in the area of infectious and tropical diseases, as well as in Cosmetic Dermatology;
• Brazil has never hosted a World Congress of Dermatology.

  #WCDnextstop:RiodeJaneiro Enticed by the natural beauty and the tropical charm of Rio de Janeiro, the world sees here the magic of the seamless harmony between the exuberant nature, its beaches and mountains, contemporary architecture and liveliness.   3 REASONS TO CHOOSE RIO DE JANEIRO:

• TOP LEVEL HOSPITALITY INFRASTRUCTURE

Brazilians are uniquely welcoming and if you add it to Rio’s significant hospitality potential the full circle is completed. With over 221 thousand hotel beds, the city is prepared to welcome tourists from anywhere in the world.
