About Health Facilities Design & Development
Healthcare facilities must evolve in step with population growth, demographic shifts and rapid technological advancement. Designing adaptable, digitally enabled and sustainable spaces ensures infrastructure remains resilient and aligned with changing models of care.
That’s why the Health Facilities Design & Development Summit is bigger and more critical than ever before. With a completely refreshed format built for today’s health infrastructure challenges, with more speakers, projects and networking opportunities than ever before.
This is the only event in APAC where you can benchmark against $8 Billion+ projects, hear global case studies you'll never get anywhere else and walk away with practical strategies you can apply immediately.
