We are delighted to bring you the much-anticipated Person-Centered Care (PCC) Middle East Forum 25 happening on 25 to 16 October 2025 in Doha. Formerly called the Person-Centered Care Forum, this unique event is being delivered by Hamad Medical Corporation in partnership with internationally renowned US-based healthcare consultants Planetree International. 

Person-Centered Care (PCC) Middle East Forum is the region’s premier platform for advancing person-centered approaches to healthcare transformation. Under the theme “Shaping the Future of Care: Innovations in Person-Centered Care,” this year’s Forum will explore how innovation, integration, and inclusivity are reshaping care delivery to better serve individuals and communities.

The 2025 Forum program covers three dynamic tracks—Person-Centered Digital Transformation, Collaborative Care: Building Partnerships for Better Outcomes, and Care Beyond Boundaries: Systematic Personalization Across Networks.

From emerging digital tools to cross-sector collaboration and system-wide personalization, the Forum will highlight practical models and scalable solutions that prioritize the voices, values, and lived experiences of patients, family members, staff members, and the broader community.

The Forum will bring together healthcare professionals, policymakers, technologists, researchers, and patient advocates from across the region to address the evolving needs of human beings across the care continuum.

Once again, this Forum will feature the best international and national speakers with knowledge and expertise in healthcare improvement, building partnerships, patient & family engagement, and Person-Centered care. 

Participants of this Forum will leave with actionable insights, evidence-based strategies, and renewed inspiration to lead the transformation toward truly person-centered systems of care.

We look forward to welcoming you to this year’s Forum.
