Annual BHF Conference 2026

As BHF marks 25 years of shaping healthcare across Southern Africa, the 2026 Annual Conference convenes at a pivotal moment, where rising pressure meets unprecedented possibility.

This year’s theme, Facing headwinds – thriving in the unknown, captures the urgency, resilience, and ingenuity that define our sector at a time of profound change.

Amid economic strain, policy volatility, and rising systemic complexity, healthcare organisations across Southern Africa are not only adapting, many are forging stability in uncertainty and building the foundations of long-term resilience. This theme invites bold leadership, practical innovation, and courageous collaboration to ensure that healthcare funding and delivery systems remain sustainable, equitable, and future-ready.

Join a bold community of funders, policymakers, administrators, clinicians, and innovators determined to lead through disruption. This year’s gathering calls the healthcare sector to go beyond survival, toward building systems that are resilient, equitable, and future-fit. In every headwind lies an inflection point: a chance to redesign healthcare that not only withstands uncertainty but thrives because of it.
