IFHE EVENTS 2023/24
Mexico and South Africa: here we come
Following a highly successful (and eagerly awaited) 27th Congress in Toronto in 2022, plans are already underway for the next IFHE Council Meeting in Mexico City in 2023, and the 28th Congress in Cape Town, South Africa, in 2024.

The IFHE Executive Committee and Council meet every year to conduct their business. The year between Congresses it is normal for the Executive Committee to ask one of the member countries if they will host the meeting at their national Conference. Mexico was selected to host the 2021 meeting but because of COVID-19 instead resorted to a virtual meeting. Now that the pandemic has receded enough for face-to-face meeting to occur, it has been decided that in 2023 IFHE will join SMAES (Sociedad Mexicana de Arquitectos Especializados en Salud) for their annual Conference in Mexico City, which will take place between 3-9 November. The event will coincide with the world-renowned celebrations of the Día de los Muertos, Day of the Dead. SMAES have arranged a programme of events to welcome members of IFHE

to Mexico, including formal meetings plus technical and cultural visits. The IFHE Congress returns in 2024, with the 28th Congress being hosted by the South African Federation of Healthcare Engineering (SAFHE) in Cape Town, South Africa, on 15-17 October 2024, at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, which is within walking distance of Cape Town city centre.

Africa hosted the IFHE – a period that has seen enormous change across the entire African continent. With this in mind, SAFHE is keen for the international healthcare engineering community to visit South Africa so as to hear an African perspective on uniquely African challenges. While only too aware of the acute healthcare challenges that face the region – from the high burden of disease to high mortality rates caused by unsafe water – SAFHE also points to the many world-class healthcare facilities, both private and government-funded, that exist today in South Africa and elsewhere, including Cape Town’s own Netcare Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital and Groote Schuur Hospital, in the hope that IFHE Congress attendees will be able to arrange technical visits to such facilities during their stay.
