            <h2>Dr. Sana Khalid<br><span style="font-size: 20px;"></span></h2>
			<p>It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Allied Health Sciences and Rehabilitation Conference (ARC 2026), to be held from 25–27 September 2026 in Islamabad, Pakistan.<br>
Hosted by Foundation University Islamabad, ARC 2026 serves as an international platform for clinicians, researchers, educators, healthcare leaders, and students to exchange knowledge, foster collaboration, and explore innovations shaping the future of rehabilitation and allied health sciences. As healthcare systems continue to evolve, the need for evidence-informed practice, interdisciplinary collaboration, and sustainable healthcare solutions has never been greater.
The theme of ARC 2026, “Emerging Technologies & Advancements in Rehabilitation & Allied Health Sciences through Innovation and Collaboration with Sustainable Impact,” reflects our commitment to advancing healthcare through scientific discovery, technological innovation, and meaningful partnerships. The conference focuses on four key pillars: Innovation, Collaboration, Sustainable Impact, and Quality Assurance, highlighting emerging technologies, integrated care pathways, sustainable healthcare practices, and excellence in education and clinical governance.
Through keynote lectures, scientific presentations, workshops, panel discussions, and networking opportunities, participants will engage with national and international experts while sharing research, experiences, and best practices across rehabilitation and allied health disciplines.<br>
Beyond knowledge exchange, ARC 2026 aims to strengthen professional networks, inspire innovation, and promote solutions that improve healthcare outcomes at local, national, and global levels. We believe the collective expertise of our participants will contribute meaningfully to advancing clinical practice, education, research, and healthcare quality.
On behalf of the organizing committee, I warmly invite you to join us in Islamabad for this enriching academic experience. We look forward to your participation and valuable contributions to ARC 2026.</p>
