How do we protect healthcare in a changing world?

With climate change and environmental challenges reshaping the way we live, our health systems stand at a critical crossroads. ICON 2026 invites healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, and innovators to lead the charge in reimagining healthcare that is both sustainable and centered around patient needs.

Launched by IHHN in 2012, ICON has become one of Pakistan’s most influential healthcare conferences. In 2026, it returns as a multi-city event across Karachi, Lahore, and Muzaffargarh — bringing together voices from across the country to explore how climate resilience can be woven into the fabric of healthcare delivery.

Through stakeholder engagement, we hope to create partnerships that will help in changing the current healthcare paradigm.
