Dear Esteemed Colleagues and Distinguished Guests,
It is with immense pleasure that I welcome you to the International Congress of Medicine and Health 2026, hosted by the Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. It is an honor to serve as the Patron of this congress, where we gather to navigate the complexities of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and explore innovative approaches that bridge the gap between preclinical insights and clinical practices.
As we confront an era marked by a rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and cancer, our work as healthcare professionals and researchers has never been more critical. The theme of our congress, ‘Innovative Approaches in Non-Communicable Diseases: From Preclinical Insights to Clinical Practices’ reflects our collective commitment to advancing knowledge and fostering collaborative efforts that can transform patient care and health outcomes.
We will have the privilege of engaging with renowned experts and esteemed speakers. Together, we will delve into the latest research, share groundbreaking ideas, and champion best practices that can lead to innovative interventions and therapies for NCDs. We believe that through our interconnected efforts, we can inspire a new wave of discovery that not only enhances our understanding of these diseases but also translates into tangible benefits for patients across diverse populations.
I encourage every participant to take full advantage of this unique opportunity, not just to learn, but to engage, collaborate, and forge lasting professional connections. Our dialogues here have the power to influence policy, shape future research directions, and, ultimately, improve the health and well-being of individuals and communities worldwide.
Once again, welcome to the International Congress of Medicine and Health 2026. Let us inspire one another to think creatively, challenge the status quo, and pave the way for innovative solutions in the realm of non-communicable diseases.
Thank you, and I wish you a fruitful and enriching congress.
