            <h2>Maj. Gen. Dr. Raza Ali Khan, HI(M) (Retd)<br><span style="font-size: 20px;">Rector Foundation University Islamabad</span></h2>
			<p>It is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to the Allied Health Sciences and Rehabilitation
Conference (ARC) 2026, being hosted by Foundation University Islamabad, Pakistan in Sept
2026.<br>
As healthcare systems worldwide is continuing to evolve, the role of allied health and
rehabilitation professionals is becoming increasingly vital in addressing complex health
challenges, enhancing quality of life, and promoting sustainable healthcare outcomes. ARC
2026 reflects our commitment to fostering academic excellence, innovation, integration, quality
assurance, and global engagement in these rapidly advancing fields.<br>
The conference theme, “Emerging Technologies and Advancements in Rehabilitation and Allied
Health Sciences through Innovation, Collaboration and Sustainable Impact,” highlights the
transformative potential of interdisciplinary partnerships and technological advancements in
shaping the future of healthcare. Through this platform, we aim to bring together leading
researchers, clinicians, educators, policymakers, industry experts, and students from across the
rehabilitation and allied health sciences domain from around the globe to share knowledge,
exchange perspectives, and explore solutions to contemporary healthcare challenges.<br>
What distinguishes ARC 2026 is its unique integration of rehabilitation sciences with the
broader spectrum of allied health disciplines. By creating opportunities for dialogue across
specialties, the conference encourages the cross-fertilization of ideas, fosters collaborative
research, and promotes innovative approaches that can drive meaningful and sustainable
change in healthcare systems. Such interdisciplinary engagement is essential for developing
comprehensive solutions that address the needs of diverse populations and healthcare
environments.<br>
Beyond scientific discourse, ARC 2026 represents an opportunity to build international
partnerships, strengthen professional networks, and inspire future generations of healthcare
leaders. I am confident that the knowledge shared and collaborations formed during this
conference will extend far beyond its sessions and contribute significantly to the advancement
of healthcare practice, education, research, and quality assurance in healthcare delivery.
I invite you all to join us at ARC 2026 and look forward to your participation in this distinguished
academic gathering.</p>
