ISDS
 2022

The International Skeletal Dysplasia Society, ISDS is a non-profit organization, founded almost 30 years ago. The principal aim of the Society is to promote scientific progress in the field of skeletal dysplasias and dysostoses and related topics (which are genetic bone conditions).

To this aim, the society organizes meetings on a two-year basis.  The meetings are conducted in a friendly and familial way to promote networking and exchange of expertise. The scientific program of the meetings includes advances in the clinical, radiological, genetic, biochemical, and molecular characterization of skeletal dysplasia, as well as advances in management of individuals affected by skeletal dysplasia and dysostoses.

Since the beginning the meetings have been held in sites on different continents, being the last one in Oslo, Norway 2019.

We are pleased to announce that the "15th International Skeletal Dysplasia Society Meeting",
will be held in Santiago, Chile, on August 24 - 27, 2022,
and for the first time in Latin America

This form will display a QR code as a means of verification. It is available at www.c19.cl.
 

Have health insurance with a minimum Covid-19 coverage of USD 30,000

(mandatory for non-residents). Medical insurance will not be required for

Spanish citizens, as long as they carry their Temporary Displacement (E/CHL-11)

and Residence (E/CHL-9) forms.

Diagnostic tests will be carried out randomly at the entry point to Chile.

Confirmed cases shall be isolated according to the general health regulations

(declared domicile in the C19 or Sanitary Residence).

​

Although it is not mandatory, we always advice you to undergo a diagnostic test before traveling.

Vaccine approval is voluntary. We recommend processing it, since it gives access to the Mobility Pass,

which allows entry to restaurants, theaters, buses, among others. Get it here.
