Synopsis:

MSF Scientific Days – Asia 2026 has evolved into a key regional platform for showcasing research, innovation, and field-based experiences across humanitarian and public health settings. The event brings together researchers, frontline responders, academics, policymakers, and community partners to advance evidence-based improvements in care for populations affected by crises and health inequities.

Building on the success of previous editions, the 2026 conference will be hosted in Singapore for the first time, reflecting MSF’s commitment to strengthening regional collaboration, operational learning, and locally grounded research.

The event is co-organised by MSF South Asia and MSF Hong Kong & Family, in collaboration with MSF Access Asia Pacific and MSF Korea, with the National University of Singapore (NUS) Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health serving as the academic partner. NUS SSHSPH is a leading institution in Asia for research, education, and policy engagement in global and population health.

Rooted in the principles of independence, impartiality, and témoignage (bearing witness), MSF Scientific Days Asia promotes critical dialogue, scientific rigor, inclusivity, and the translation of knowledge into action. The 2026 edition will focus on complex and interconnected health challenges, with an emphasis on equity, operational relevance, and access to care in resource-constrained and crisis-affected settings.

The 2026 programme will explore six interconnected areas:

• Care in Crisis – Advancing Quality Healthcare in Conflict and Disasters
• Beyond Displacement – Advancing Health, Rights and Dignity with Rohingya Communities
• Protecting Dignity and Choice – Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in Humanitarian Crisis
• Access to Care – Breaking Barriers to Essential Healthcare
• Climate and Health – Responding to a Changing Humanitarian Landscape
• Reimagining Care in Crisis – Humanitarian Innovation Hub

Join us in advancing evidence-informed humanitarian action through collaboration, innovation, and shared learning.
