The International Conference on Geriatrics and Gerontology in Kuala Lumpur is a multi-day, multi-track meeting aimed at healthcare providers serving Asia’s fast-growing elderly population. Hosted by Mindspace Conferences, the event focuses on “comprehensive care across the ageing journey” – from active, healthy ageing in the community to high-acuity hospital care and long-term care settings. Delegates can expect sessions on geriatric assessment, chronic disease management, orthogeriatrics, geriatric oncology, palliative medicine, rehabilitation, nutrition in older adults and management of cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
The social-gerontology programme explores family caregiving in Asian cultures, housing models, age-friendly transport, senior community centres and the economics of elder care in middle-income countries. Kuala Lumpur’s position as a regional hub makes this conference particularly attractive to professionals from India, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and the Middle East who want to understand best practices tailored to Asian socio-cultural realities, not just Western models.
Workshops often cover practical topics such as setting up multidisciplinary geriatric clinics, implementing fall-prevention programs in hospitals, managing behaviour in dementia, and designing person-centred care plans. Exhibitors typically include pharma, rehab-equipment vendors, care-home operators and digital-health companies. For Indian senior-care providers, the Kuala Lumpur conference is a good place to source regional partners, speakers and ideas for affordable, scalable care models that can be replicated in Tier-1 and Tier-2 Indian cities.
