The 6th National Congress on Gender Health will take place on May 19, 2026, in Berlin at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences, bringing together experts to explore the growing importance of gender-specific approaches in healthcare. 🧬🏥

Organized by the Institute for Gender Health in collaboration with the iX Institute for Health System Development, the congress highlights how gender medicine has evolved from a niche topic into a key element of research, public debate, and health policy. 📊

This year’s focus is on prevention, examining how gender-specific factors can improve health outcomes, unlock efficiencies, and strengthen care delivery. Participants can expect expert talks, interactive workshops, and panel discussions featuring stakeholders from healthcare, policy, and research. 💡

Key topics include gender differences in prevention, the role of AI and digitalization, aging and gender, and innovative approaches to care. Workshops will also address issues such as autoimmune diseases, hormonal balance, and gender-based violence.

The event offers a full day of insights, exchange, and forward-looking discussion on shaping a more inclusive and effective healthcare system. 🤝
