3rd International Research Conference on Healthy Delights –2026
The International Conference on Healthy Delights (ICHD 2026) offers an excellent opportunity for researchers, clinicians, academics, and students to showcase their work on an international platform dedicated to allied health sciences. Organised by the Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, University of Jaffna, the conference continues to grow as a recognised forum for high-quality research and meaningful scientific exchange.
Under the theme “Advancing Allied Health Sciences for Sustainable Health Systems,” ICHD 2026 invites authors to contribute original research that addresses pressing healthcare challenges, particularly in resource-limited and low- and middle-income settings. The conference provides a supportive yet rigorous environment with peer-reviewed abstract selection, ensuring both academic quality and constructive engagement.
By submitting your work, you will gain the opportunity to present your research to a multidisciplinary audience, receive expert feedback, build regional and international collaborations, and enhance the visibility of your work through conference proceedings with DOI assignment. Selected high-quality submissions will also be considered for publication in a partner journal, further extending the impact of your research.
ICHD 2026 is more than a conference—it is a platform to contribute to the future of allied health sciences and to be part of a growing research community committed to advancing sustainable health systems.
The Microsoft CMT service was used for managing the peer-reviewing process for this conference. This service was provided for free by Microsoft and they bore all expenses, including costs for Azure cloud services as well as for software development and support.
