Through this dynamic exchange of ideas, we strengthen our mission to improve health outcomes, reduce disparities, and elevate the standard of healthcare education and practice.


We warmly welcome your participation in this Forum. Together, we will celebrate remarkable achievements, ignite new ideas, and build bridges across disciplines and communities. Let us continue advancing knowledge, inspiring innovation, and transforming health—toward a brighter and healthier future for all.
