The World Hospital Congress creates a venue for this purpose, and IHF membership is there to increase a sense of belonging within a single community driven by a common desire to achieve better healthcare for all. Reinforcing this annual meeting with a user friendly virtual platform is the second pillar upon which the IHF has decided to focus.
