The 6th International Conference on Healthcare, SDGs and Social Business
Transforming Healthcare: Bridging Gaps, Empowering Communities
August 28-30, 2024 (Hybrid)

In a world where half of the global population lacks access to essential health services and 800 million people endure significant financial burdens for medical care, the need for transformative solutions is paramount. The 6th International Conference on Healthcare, SDGs and Social Business recognizes the potential of disruptive technologies to address these challenges. It is our firm belief that by developing affordable, portable, and usable technologies, we can bridge the existing healthcare gaps and empower underserved communities.

The concept of social business emerges as a beacon of hope, offering a sustainable approach to healthcare delivery. To combat issues highlighted in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3.8, we aim to leverage digital healthcare technologies—such as portable medical sensors and artificial intelligence to reduce medical costs. Additionally, the deployment of new policies on remote healthcare systems and the integration of social business models can make healthcare delivery more sustainable. Remote Healthcare Systems (RHS) play a pivotal role in reducing the risk of disease spread, addressing mental health concerns, and optimizing the valuable time of healthcare professionals.

The conference will take place from August 28 to 30, 2024, in a hybrid mode. The conference serves as a platform to share and discuss state-of-the-art healthcare technologies, deployment case studies, and policy recommendations centered around achieving Universal Healthcare Coverage (UHC) through the effective utilization of digital health and robust health information systems in a sustainable manner.
