The 50th IHF World Hospital Congress – 7 to 10 November 2027, Rome, Italy

The IHF and the Italian Federation of Health and Hospital Companies (FIASO) will co-host the 50th edition of the World Hospital Congress from 7 to 10 November 2027 at the renowned La Nuvola Convention Centre in Rome. This milestone Congress will gather hospital leaders and healthcare executives from around the world to exchange insights, strengthen collaborations, and foster global learning for local action.

The Congress offers unparalleled opportunities for exchanging ideas and learning from real-world experience, featuring a stimulating array of plenary and parallel sessions, poster presentations, pre-congress masterclasses, workshops, the prestigious IHF Awards, the i-to-i Innovation Hub, an industry exhibition, and exclusive visits to leading hospitals and healthcare solutions providers across Rome. Senior leaders will benefit from focused sessions while engaging directly with peers from across the IHF network.

Rome provides a compelling setting for the Congress’ landmark anniversary. Italy’s National Health Service (Servizio Sanitario Nazionale), headquartered in Rome, is recognized internationally for its commitment to universal coverage and equity in access to care, positioning Italy as an authoritative voice in global health governance. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from leading hospitals and healthcare facilities in Italy and across the global IHF membership. Coupled with its rich historical, cultural, and architectural heritage, Rome offers an inspiring backdrop for this special 50th edition.
