Theme: Caring Through Change: The Evolving Role of the Primary Care Professionals

Assalamualaikum and warm greetings,

On behalf of the Organising Committee, it is my great honour and pleasure to welcome you to the 28th Family Medicine Scientific Conference (FMSC 2026).

This year’s theme, “Caring Through Change: The Evolving Role of Primary Care Professionals,” reflects the dynamic transformation of healthcare delivery in our rapidly changing world.

Pahang is proud to host this annual conference from 4-7 September 2026, with the preconference on 4 September, at the Sultan Ahmad Shah International Convention Centre (SASICC) in Kuantan. Centrally located and easily accessible, the venue provides an ideal setting for delegates from across Malaysia and beyond to gather on the East Coast. While you are here, we invite you to explore Kuantan’s sun-kissed beaches, pristine rainforests, and the refreshing highlands of Pahang. Do not miss the opportunity to savour local delicacies such as Ikan Patin Masak Tempoyak, Murtabak Mengkasar, and the royal favourite, Puding Diraja.

FMSC 2026 offers a valuable platform for learning, collaboration, and inspiration. Through insightful keynote addresses, interactive workshops, and the sharing of research and best practices, we aim to strengthen competencies, foster professional growth, and build meaningful interdisciplinary networks.

I encourage all participants to engage actively in discussions, exchange ideas openly, and embrace new perspectives that will enrich our daily practice.

We look forward to welcoming you to Kuantan for FMSC 2026. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require any assistance. Our team is committed to ensuring that FMSC 2026 will be both meaningful and memorable for all participants.

May FMSC 2026 inspire us to continue caring through change with resilience, empathy, and excellence.

28th Family Medicine Scientific Conference 2026

It is my great honour to welcome all of you to the 28th Family Medicine Specialists Conference 2026. This year’s theme, “Caring Through Change: Evolving Role of Primary Care Professionals,” reflects the dynamic landscape in which we practise today.

Primary care is no longer confined to the consultation room. As Family Medicine Specialists, we remain grounded in our core identity as clinicians—providing comprehensive, continuous, and person-centred care. Yet the demands of our communities, health system reforms, digital transformation, and shifting disease patterns require us to evolve beyond traditional roles.

We must embrace leadership—not only in managing complex multimorbidity, preventive care, and community health—but also in shaping policies, driving service innovation, strengthening multidisciplinary collaboration, and advocating for equitable access to care. The future of primary care must not be defined for us; it must be shaped by us.

As we gather, let us reflect on how we can strengthen our clinical excellence while building capacity in governance, digital health, research, and system redesign. Change is inevitable. Leadership is intentional. Together, we will continue to anchor the health system and ensure
that primary care remains responsive, resilient, and relevant for generations to come.

As we engage in meaningful discussions, let us also take time to appreciate our host state this year—beautiful Pahang. From its serene beaches and lush highlands to its rich cultural heritage, Pahang offers a refreshing backdrop for reflection and renewal. Use this opportunity to reconnect with colleagues, strengthen friendships, expand networks, and recharge together.

And of course, do not miss the chance to explore local treasures—batik Pahang, traditional woven products, ikan patin dishes, local coffee, kerepek, and unique handmade crafts that make perfect gifts.

I encourage all participants to engage actively in discussions, exchange ideas openly, and embrace new perspectives that will enrich our daily practice.

We look forward to welcoming you to Kuantan for FMSC 2026. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require any assistance. Our team is committed to ensuring that FMSC 2026 will be both meaningful and memorable for all participants.

May this conference inspire growth, leadership, and lasting connections.

Welcome to FMSC 2026. See you in Kuantan!
