ABOUT BISHAC

Behavioural and Implementation Sciences in Health, Asia Conference 2026 (BISHAC 2026) is a three-day regional meeting in Singapore (3–5 September 2026) bringing together people who want to turn good evidence into real-world health impact across Asia.

Join researchers, policymakers, health providers, community partners and funders to learn how behavioural and implementation sciences can close the “know–do” gap, tackle inequities, and make health systems more resilient and people-centred.

Why Attend?

  • Be inspired by high-level keynotes, panels and debates on the biggest health system challenges in the region.
  • Discover cutting-edge research, real-world case studies and innovations that are already changing policy and practice.
  • Build practical skills in designing, scaling and evaluating interventions, and in partnering with patients and communities.
  • Connect with a vibrant network, including dedicated spaces for early- and mid-career professionals, mentoring opportunities and a Day 1 networking reception.

WELCOME ADDRESS

We are delighted to welcome you to the Behavioural and Implementation Sciences in Health, Asia Conference 2026 in Singapore.  Building on the vision outlined in our conference overview, this inaugural meeting is a chance for our growing community to come together, share what we are learning, and co-create the next wave of work that will shape health systems across the region.

As Conference Chair, I especially invite colleagues from across disciplines, sectors and countries to use this space to forge new collaborations and to amplify diverse voices, including early- and mid-career professionals.  Your ideas, experiences and partnerships will be central to the regional mapping, capacity-building and policy initiatives we aim to launch here—and we look forward to welcoming you to Singapore in September 2026.
