The World Hospital Congress of the International Hospital Federation (IHF)

The World Hospital Congress of the International Hospital Federation (IHF) is a unique global forum that brings together IHF members, leaders and decision-makers of hospitals, health services, and healthcare organizations to discuss key drivers of national and international policy, management, financial trends and solutions. Through this forum multidisciplinary exchange of knowledge, expertise and experiences are facilitated, together with dialogue on best practices in leadership, management and service delivery. The IHF World Hospital Congress is a one-stop shop for the healthcare professional seeking the opportunity and environment in which to engage in a 360-degree learning and knowledge-sharing experience among peers.

La Unió Catalana d’Hospitals is proud to host the 44th World Hospital Congress as a hybrid event with the theme “People on board: Transforming healthcare by blending agility, responsiveness, and resilience” We invite all hospital and health service leaders and decision-makers from around the globe to join the event on 8-11 November 2021 at the Fira Montjuïc in Barcelona.
