Dear Colleague,

The future of healthcare depends on our ability to prevent infection, protect patients, and build resilient systems capable of responding to evolving global health challenges. It is in this spirit that we are delighted to welcome you to the 8th International Conference on Prevention and Control of Infection (ICPCI 2028), taking place on 27–28 November 2026 in Abu Dhabi, UAE, with a Pre-Conference Workshop on 26 November 2026.

This year’s theme, “Strengthening Infection Prevention and Control Towards a Healthier, Safer World,” highlights the critical role that infection prevention and control plays in safeguarding public health, improving patient outcomes, and ensuring healthcare sustainability. As infectious threats continue to evolve, collaboration, innovation, and knowledge sharing have become more important than ever.
