GHS2026 Local Organising Partners
We are proud to welcome United Nations University International Institute for Global Health (UNU-IIGH) and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) as the official Local Organising Partners for the Global Health Security Conference 2026 (GHS2026). As two of Malaysia’s leading institutions in global health research, policy, and education, their partnership brings essential regional insight and academic expertise to the conference.
UNU-IIGH and UKM will play a key role in strengthening engagement across Malaysia and ASEAN, shaping core components of the academic programme, and supporting a more inclusive conference through travel bursary assistance for delegates from low- and middle-income countries. Their support in expanding regional sponsorship and stakeholder collaboration will further enhance the reach and impact of GHS2026.
Together, we are working to deliver a conference that elevates diverse perspectives, fosters meaningful regional leadership, and advances global dialogue on health security.
