About the Conference
The International Conference on Health and Allied Sciences (ICHAS) is an annual flagship event of Texila American University, Zambia, dedicated to advancing research, innovation, and knowledge exchange in Zambia and across the SADC region. The first ICHAS was successfully held in 2023, followed by the second edition in 2024, each fostering meaningful collaborations among regional and international experts. Building on this momentum, the 3rd International Conference on Health and Allied Sciences (ICHAS 2025) brings together a diverse array of thought leaders, practitioners, scholars, and innovators from around the world under the theme “Futuristic Collaborative Pathways: Bridging Medicine, Public Health, Information Technology, and Management.” This edition serves as a multidisciplinary platform to develop integrated, innovative, and sustainable solutions for global health challenges.
In an era defined by rapid technological advances, growing health disparities, and unprecedented public health emergencies, the need for cross-sector collaboration has never been greater. ICHAS 2025 responds to this demand by promoting dialogue and partnerships between traditionally siloed disciplines. The convergence of medicine, public health, information technology, and healthcare management creates new opportunities to reimagine the way we approach health systems, disease prevention, clinical care, data governance, and healthcare delivery.
