Internal Medicine, General Medicine Conference-IPSC 2026

Internal medicine and global health overlap in confronting essential health issues that cut across international borders. Internal medicine physicians have a critical role to play in addressing both infectious diseases, including tuberculosis and HIV, and non-communicable diseases, including diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, which are on the rise worldwide. Grasping these burdens of disease is fundamental to crafting responses that foster equity and access.

Global partnerships, strengthening health systems, and advances in preventive medicine are assisting in bridging gaps in low- and middle-income nations. Internal medicine doctors are playing a vital role in capacity building, health policy, and novel models of care that enhance health outcomes globally. Closing the divide between local practice and global issues is important in building a healthier and more equitable future.
