Dubai will host the 3rd International AYUSH Conference & Exhibition 2026 from February 15 to 17, 2026, at the Dubai World Trade Centre, bringing together global leaders and practitioners of traditional healthcare systems. The conference will focus on Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy (AYUSH), with participation from policymakers, researchers, industrialists, healthcare professionals, and students from across the world.
The event is organised by Science India Forum, a voluntary organisation promoting science among the masses, in association with the World Ayurveda Foundation, under the patronage of the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India, and the Consulate General of India, Dubai. Several international AYUSH organisations, including the Global Homeopathic Foundation (GHF) and the Emirates Ayurveda Graduates Association (EAGA), are partnering in the event.
The theme of the conference is “Evidence-based AYUSH Interventions in Mind-Body Health,” addressing the growing global interest in integrative and preventive healthcare. The conference aims to highlight AYUSH as an authentic and reliable healthcare system for managing diseases, particularly non-communicable chronic conditions.
The three-day event will feature 75 invited talks, 250 oral presentations, and 200 poster presentations, with participation from over 1,200 delegates representing more than 35 countries. Eminent AYUSH experts and policymakers from India, the USA, and Europe have confirmed their attendance. A short film festival on AYUSH systems of medicine will also be held as part of the programme.
An international exhibition showcasing AYUSH pharmaceutical products, FMCG, service providers, educational institutions, research organisations, organic products, equipment, and government AYUSH initiatives will run alongside the conference. The exhibition will be open to the public free of charge on all three days, along with evening awareness sessions on AYUSH systems.
The conference is expected to strengthen India-UAE collaboration in Traditional Complementary and Alternative Medicine (TCAM) and medical tourism. Possibilities for bilateral cooperation, including government-to-government memoranda of understanding in AYUSH research, education, and green medicine, will also be explored.
