Colombo, Sri Lanka:

Medical experts and researchers from multiple countries gathered in Colombo last week as Biofora Worldwide hosted the International Conference on Diabetes and Endocrinology (ICDE 2026), a two-day scientific meeting focused on the growing global impact of diabetes and hormonal disorders.

Held on January 24–25, the conference brought together more than 60 specialists, including clinicians, academicians, nutrition scientists, and healthcare innovators, to exchange research findings and discuss practical solutions for improving diabetes care and endocrine health. The event was organized in collaboration with IRAJ International (UAE), Diabetes World, the International Society for Researchers and Doctors (ISRD), and WRFER.

Sessions throughout the conference addressed a wide range of topics, from advancements in endocrinology research and integrative treatment approaches to the role of nutrition, lifestyle modification, and emerging technologies in chronic disease management. Speakers also examined regional and global trends contributing to the rising prevalence of diabetes, particularly in developing nations.

The conference featured keynote addresses by senior academics and healthcare leaders, including Dr. Sushma of Dr. Vijay Ayurvedic Medical College, India; Dr. V. Sathyanathan, Principal of Apollo College of Pharmacy, Tamil Nadu; Prof. Maria El Arbaoui from Morocco’s Ministry of Health; and Hijas Jaleel, an international AI trainer and technology strategist. Medical researchers from Bangladesh and other countries also presented clinical insights and case-based discussions.

A recurring theme across multiple sessions was the need for stronger collaboration between conventional medicine, nutrition science, and digital health tools to improve long-term outcomes for patients with diabetes and endocrine disorders. Several speakers highlighted the growing role of artificial intelligence, data-driven diagnostics, and patient education in modern healthcare systems.

At the closing session, organizers underscored the importance of international scientific platforms in accelerating research translation and improving patient care. Participants called for increased cross-border research partnerships and continued dialogue among clinicians, researchers, and healthcare policymakers.

Biofora Worldwide stated that the Colombo conference marked another step in its ongoing efforts to support global knowledge exchange in medical and life sciences. The organization plans to continue hosting international forums aimed at addressing pressing healthcare challenges through research-driven discussion and collaboration.
