About the Conference
This flagship national conference comes at a pivotal time, as the ageing population continues to reshape Malaysia and the region. It brings together policymakers, healthcare professionals, researchers, industry leaders, and advocates to share knowledge, exchange best practices, and advance practical, age-friendly solutions.
MHAS remains committed to improving health, wellbeing, and quality of life across the ageing continuum. This conference provides an important platform for meaningful dialogue, cross-sector collaboration, and the development of sustainable strategies that support ageing with dignity, independence, and purpose.
We are proud to host this year’s conference in Sabah, highlighting the importance of inclusive and regionally relevant approaches to healthy ageing. Over the two days, participants can expect focused plenaries and discussions that will inform policy, practice, and innovation.
