Opening plenary in

Opening plenary in 252 days.

Three days of peer-reviewed research, policy debate and field practice, bringing together epidemiologists, clinicians, data scientists and community health leaders from more than sixty countries.

A working meeting, not a showcase

About the congress

GPH 2027 is convened by the Institute of Population Health with the Southeast Asian Public Health Network. Every accepted paper is double-blind reviewed by two members of the scientific committee, and every session ends with thirty minutes reserved for discussion rather than presentation.

Hybrid, properly

Online delegates join the same rooms, ask questions in the same queue, and present in the same sessions as those in Kuala Lumpur. Recordings stay open to registered delegates for twelve months.
