It is with immense excitement and pride that we introduce you to the SAMA Health Summit 2026 – a bold and transformative platform where the future of healthcare in South Africa takes centre stage.

At the South African Medical Association (SAMA), we have always been committed to shaping the healthcare landscape, championing innovation, and advocating for a system that serves all with excellence and equity. As an organisation, we understand that real progress happens when minds from diverse disciplines come together, challenge norms, and co-create solutions that revolutionise patient care.

Under the theme “Innovate to Elevate: Transforming Healthcare Together,” this summit is not just an event – it is a movement. A movement to push boundaries, harness the power of both high-tech and practical innovations, and reimagine what is possible for healthcare in South Africa and beyond.

Over the three days, we will explore cutting-edge AI, game-changing healthcare models, and practical solutions for rural and underserved communities. More importantly, we will engage in vital dialogue, ensuring that healthcare transformation is not only about technology but about people, ethics, and accessibility.

This is your invitation to be part of something groundbreaking. Come share your expertise, challenge conventional thinking, and collaborate with like-minded pioneers to drive a healthier future for our nation.

Together, let us elevate healthcare for the health of the nation!
