MWIA Congress Region Northern Europe

The Dutch Association of Women Doctors (VNVA) warmly invites you to the Medical Women’s International Association (MWIA) Regional Conference, taking place on June 5–6, 2026, in the inspiring and innovative Netherlands. This special gathering brings together medical women from across the region to connect, learn, and lead under the timely and powerful theme: “Transgenerational Resilience”.

In a world where healthcare systems face increasing pressure, and the rights and well-being of women—both as patients and professionals—are under renewed scrutiny, the conversation around women’s resilience has never been more urgent. This conference explores how we can foster resilience across generations: by strengthening women’s health care systems and supporting female doctors in navigating and shaping the future of medicine.

Through inspiring and internationally renowned keynote speakers, including the internationally renowned Els Borst Oeuvre Prize winner and interactive sessions, we will explore strategies, share stories, and build solidarity across borders and generations. Whether you're a seasoned leader or a rising voice in medicine, you’ll find inspiration, collaboration, and a strong sense of purpose.
Join us in the Netherlands as we honor the strength of the past, empower the present, and co-create a resilient future for women in medicine.

Join us and become part of a movement that honors the past, empowers the present, and collectively shapes the future.
