The International Academy of Perinatal Medicine has a remarkable past and I sincerely believe a brilliant future [1]. Naturally, the future depends on the role of its members because no academy can be appreciated by itself but by the reputation of each and all its members. From the time of Plato, the Academy has been an institution of highest intellectual authorities, most creative and productive members of society. Indeed, science is true global activity because its very nature is global. Most of us welcomed the positive globalization process but with the recent pandemic of corona disease we are introducing a negative part of globalization with many unpredictable developments [2]. In science we do not have good and bad work. By following our principal duties, we justifiably expect that creative and visionary members of the Academy show again its intellectual power in order to solve this global pandemic. The future relies on the past and it is just proper time to show our own vision on the future and situation after the pandemic is over [3]. Our Academy has both the responsibility and privilege to conduct scientific research on the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on maternal, fetal and neonatal health. Recently published studies in prestigious journals are unfortunately of very suspicious quality and the results of the studies give not only little additional information for health care providers, but also cause confusion with inappropriate adjustments of the antenatal care without scientific background. Without any doubt, this will open up again new visionary solutions and one of them will be a deep analysis of what science in perinatal medicine did assess and what is recommended to the perinatal world [4, 5]. In a world of rapid advances in scientific discovery with an unprecedented insight and understanding of human development which are reshaping the meaning and value of human existence, it is clear that we all are living in a global setting with PC-based video conferencing and satellite transmission. Therefore, the new idea born in a small global village will soon be available at each corner of the world. We are lucky to have our official Journal of Perinatal Medicine and Academy Corner in it dedicated to wise thoughts of Academy members. What should we really offer through the journal and its Academy Corner to our readers in this complicated part of our lives? [5, 6].
