The World Hospital Congress is the premier global forum bringing together leaders and decision-makers from hospitals, health services, and healthcare organizations to exchange knowledge and innovations and explore solutions to the sector’s most pressing challenges.

As the only organization connecting executives of hospitals and health systems worldwide, the International Hospital Federation’s Congress provides a unique opportunity to engage in a 360-degree learning and networking experience with global peers.

First held in 1929 in Atlantic City, USA, the Congress has since travelled across regions and, since 2015, has been organized annually. After 19 years, the Congress will return to South Korea to gather 1700 participants from 80+ countries.
