The SAFHE 2026 Conference Programme is now live and reflects the collective vision of a sector working together to shape the future of healthcare infrastructure across Africa.

Developed by the SAFHE 2026 Organising Committee, the programme delivers a dynamic, high‑impact agenda aligned to the evolving needs of the healthcare built environment. It blends strategic insight, practical application and thought leadership, ensuring relevance for professionals involved across the full lifecycle of healthcare facilities.

Under the conference theme “Synergy in Action: Shaping the Future of Healthcare Together” and the guiding tagline “Innovating Healthcare Through Collaboration,” SAFHE 2026 explores how shared expertise, multidisciplinary collaboration and integrated thinking can transform the design, delivery, operation and performance of healthcare infrastructure.
