The annual World Hospital Congress is an event like no other. Our global forum brings together IHF Members and leaders of hospitals, health services, and healthcare organizations. Providing an invaluable networking opportunity, the themes chosen for each congress focus on the biggest trends and common issues in the sector.

Expert-led sessions are complemented by workshops, breakouts, scientific posters, exhibitors from across the industry, social events, local hospital visits and much more. It’s a hive of knowledge exchange, collaboration, and innovation – a chance to gather our international community to focus on what healthcare leaders can learn from each other to improve service delivery at home.
