The 46th World Hospital Congress will be held in Lisbon, Portugal from 25-27 October. The Congress is a unique global forum connecting leaders and decision-makers of hospitals, health services and healthcare organizations to share knowledge and good practices, exchange new ideas and innovations, and network with other senior executives from across the international healthcare community. This year it is co-hosted by the International Hospital Federation and the Portuguese Consortium composed of the Portuguese Association for Hospital Development (APDH), Portuguese Association of Hospital Managers (APAH), and Portuguese Association of Private Hospitals (APHP).


The Congress aims to bring together global learning and share local action. To do that, we’re seeking projects and programmes that showcase innovations, models, and examples of leadership. If you have compelling work to share, submit your abstracts to the Scientific Committee for consideration.


Visit the World Hospital Congress website and find out more about the Congress, including how you can submit your abstract and this year’s guidelines.
