Dear colleagues and friends,

Welcome to the inaugural Global Population Health Conference (GPHC), taking place from 23–25 November 2026 at the Academia building in Singapore. As a signature academic event of the SingHealth Regional Health System, in collaboration with Duke‑NUS Medical School, this landmark conference brings together thought leaders, health and social care professionals, community partners, academics, researchers, and policymakers from around the world to share knowledge and showcase efforts to advance population health globally.

Under the theme “Advancing Population Health through Research and Practice Together”, the conference features a rich three‑day programme of keynote addresses, high‑level plenary sessions, and concurrent breakout tracks designed to foster learning, dialogue, and collaboration.

I encourage you to actively participate, connect with fellow attendees, and contribute to conversations that will help shape the future of our field. A key feature of the conference is the launch of the Global Alliance for Population Health Research and Implementation™ and the celebration of the ESTHER Festival, which highlights person‑centred care and its link to population health. We hope this conference will serve as a platform to unite researchers and practitioners globally to improve population health across diverse populations and settings.

On behalf of the Organising Committee, we look forward to welcoming you to GPHC 2026 and working together to build a healthier future for populations worldwide.
