Invitation

An international platform for traditional medicine, grounded in evidence

Hosted by the Faculty of Unani & Ayurvedic Medicine, the conference brings together researchers, physicians, scientists, healthcare professionals, postgraduate students, policymakers, and industry experts to share innovative research and explore how traditional medicine integrates with modern healthcare across South-East Asia.

Nestled within the Hamdard City of Science, Education & Culture at Gazaria, Munshiganj, the University occupies roughly 160 bighas of green, open landscape along the Meghna and Phuldi rivers — about 30 km from Dhaka via the Dhaka–Chattogram Highway.

Away from the noise of the capital, the campus is built for unhurried academic exchange: landscaped gardens, modern lecture halls and laboratories, and a faculty committed to warm Bangladeshi hospitality for every delegate.

Delegates can expect guided campus visits, cultural programs showcasing Bangladeshi heritage, and hygienic dining featuring both local and international cuisine — alongside the scientific program itself.

What delegates can expect

  • Warm reception & dedicated registration assistance
  • Modern lecture halls with full audiovisual support
  • Hygienic dining — Bangladeshi & international cuisine
  • Tea & coffee breaks built for networking
  • Guided visits to academic & research facilities
  • Cultural programs of Bangladeshi heritage
  • Hotel–venue transport (subject to arrangement)
