Dear Conference Attendees

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the International Public Health Conference 2026 (IPHC 2026) in Singapore. Public health today faces complex and interconnected challenges across populations, systems, and environments. From rising chronic disease burden and health inequities to climate change, ageing societies, digital transformation, and global health security, our field is evolving rapidly. While some communities are making significant progress, others continue to face growing vulnerabilities. However, prevention, policy innovation, research, education, and community-based action remain powerful tools to improve population health and wellbeing. IPHC 2026 provides a unique opportunity for professionals, researchers, educators, policymakers, and students from around the world to exchange knowledge, share best practices, and explore evidence-based solutions to current and emerging public health challenges. The programme will highlight advances in public health research, innovations in practice, and strategies for building more resilient and equitable health systems. Through keynote addresses, scientific sessions, and collaborative discussions, participants will gain insights into practical approaches that can drive meaningful and sustainable impact. We hope this conference inspires new ideas, strengthens partnerships, and empowers you to contribute to healthier communities globally. We also encourage you to enjoy the vibrant culture, hospitality, and innovation that Singapore has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you and wish you a stimulating and rewarding conference experience.
