Dear Participants and Sponsors,

On behalf of the IFM Scientific Committee and the organizing team, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all our participants, partners, and sponsors for their support in making IFM 2025 a remarkable success. It was a pleasure to welcome you in person, and we hope you gained meaningful insights and forged valuable professional connections.

Building on this momentum, I am delighted to announce that the 13th edition of the International Family Medicine Conference (IFM 2026) will take place at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 24–26 March 2026, co-located with DUPHAT 2026.

Guided by the focal theme, “Building Health Systems for Tomorrow through Innovation, Inclusion, and Integration,” IFM 2026 will explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI), digital healthcare solutions, and collaborative care models are shaping the future of primary healthcare. The conference will focus on strategies to enhance clinical decision-making, improve patient outcomes, and build resilient, future-ready health systems.

IFM 2026 will be an exceptional event, featuring a dynamic scientific conference and exhibition. Co-located with DUPHAT 2026, it offers unmatched opportunities for networking and collaboration. Attendees will explore advanced treatment approaches and innovations across key areas such as home care, gut health, supplements, insurance, mental health, oncology & early screening, vaccines, allergy, pain management, brain performance, and global health. The program will also feature holistic sessions on disease management, modern healthcare strategies, and preventive care.

“For the first time, IFM has published the International Family Medicine Roundtable Whitepaper, showcasing strategies to strengthen primary care and insurance integration in Dubai, with key insights on OP-DRG, telemedicine, and smart health solutions. This year, we look forward to even richer discussions and the release of additional whitepapers to further advance primary healthcare innovation.”

IFM has earned recognition as one of the UAE’s premier scientific conferences, bringing together healthcare leaders and professionals from across the UAE and GCC region. Over the years, it has evolved into a knowledge-sharing platform renowned for showcasing cutting-edge advancements in family and primary healthcare.

We look forward to welcoming you to Dubai in March 2026 for an engaging, insightful, and impactful edition of IFM.

Warm regards,
