Following the momentum of healthcare Quality Improvement (QI) initiatives in the country and the success of the inaugural convention in August 2025 that gathered 250+ delegates, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) is convening the Bangladesh Quality Improvement (QI) Convention 2026 this December.
Bangladesh has made significant strides in healthcare Quality of Care, yet sustainable progress requires an integrated learning health system uniting professionals, policymakers, and private-sector leaders. Led by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), the 2026 Bangladesh QI Convention aims to focus on embedding Quality Improvement across service delivery, patient and medication safety, and human-centered care environments. Elevating this initiative into a high-level strategic congregation calls for the vision of a national public-private partnership to foster healthcare innovation, share best practices and knowledge for growth and improvement rather than reinvent the wheel, and shape policies into practical implementations.
The Bangladesh QI Convention 2026 is not merely an event, it is a national movement toward safer, smarter, and more equitable healthcare.
We invite healthcare professionals, researchers, innovators, and advocates to share their insights, ground-breaking solutions, and real-world learnings that make healthcare safer, more respectful, and more effective for every patient, everywhere.
We also welcome first time presenters. We are actively seeking to increase the diversity of our presenters. This year, we are accepting submissions across two formats:
Poster Presentations and Speaker Sessions (Lightning Talks)
Anyone involved in the healthcare sector focusing on quality of care in service design and/or service delivery from NGOs, INGOs, funders, UN agencies, development partners, professional bodies, academics, health and healthcare experts, service providers, healthcare industry, private healthcare sector and different stakeholders under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
