The Association for Mothers and Newborns (AMAN) proudly presents its First International Annual Scientific Conference 2026, taking place from 24–25 October 2026 in Karachi, Pakistan. This conference brings together national and international leaders in obstetrics, gynaecology, neonatology, and public health to engage in meaningful dialogue, knowledge exchange, and collaboration.
Guided by the theme Connecting Clinical Practice with Global Public Health Developments, the conference is designed to strengthen the link between evidence-based medicine and real-world public health challenges. The conference responds to evolving global priorities with a strong focus on women, mothers, and newborn wellbeing across diverse healthcare systems.

The programme includes high-impact scientific sessions, skills building pre- and post-conference workshops, pharmaceutical exhibitions, and thoughtfully curated social and cultural events.
AMAN International Scientific Conference 2026 aims to provide a platform for leadership, advocacy, innovation, and action. Delegates will gain insights into emerging clinical practices, public health strategies, and future-facing technologies while fostering professional collaboration across regions.
The conference theme, Connecting Clinical Practice with Global Public Health Developments, reflects a critical global need to align clinical excellence with public health impact. As healthcare systems face increasing pressure from demographic shifts, climate challenges, and technological transformation, the conference provides a timely forum for solution-driven dialogue. Key scientific focus areas include clinical and public health aspects of maternal, newborn, and women’s health, alongside emerging challenges and innovations shaping obstetrics and gynaecology practice.
The theme also reflects a commitment to equity and recognises the interconnected factors shaping women’s health, including attention to women and children affected by crisis and displacement. Emerging topics such as Artificial Intelligence will be explored within the broader context of advancing clinical practice and strengthening health systems. Through multidisciplinary engagement and global perspectives, AMAN International Scientific Conference 2026 aims to support evidence-based approaches and policy-aligned thinking that strengthen healthcare delivery at both local and international levels.
