Dr Alan FONG President, 21st NHAM Council

Our National Heart Association of Malaysia’s (NHAM) Congress 2026 returns, and to Kuala Lumpur, following our hosting of the 29th ASEAN Federation of Cardiology Congress (AFCC) in Penang last year. The energy gained from the AFCC has provided greater momentum for this year’s Congress!   NHAM’s main thrust of promoting quality cardiovascular care to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Malaysia is reflected in the education and research that you will experience at NHAM Congress 2026. An energetic new Organising Committee led by Dr Akmal Hakim Arshad, and the Congress Scientific Chairperson Dr Raja Ezman Faridz Raja Shariff have hit the ground running to bring to you an educational spectacle of cardiology which will live long in memory.   Over the last 4 years, the 3 editions of the NHAM Congress have grown from strength to strength, with a growing number of participants, both domestic and international, to meet the ever-expanding reach of cardiovascular science. We have addressed both contemporary and new areas of cardiology – and this will continue at NHAM Congress 2026 – topics such as cardiomyopathies, obesity, dyslipidaemia, precision therapeutics and artificial intelligence. Our distinguished Faculty, from ASEAN and across the world, will augment local key opinion leaders, to power up our Program!   Beyond education and research, NHAM Congress 2026 will be hub whereby the cardiology ecosystem will make yet another leap to greater heights – the opportunity to network, inspire new ideas and initiatives, and improve every stakeholder’s investment of time and energy in this field. To really translate science into practice, and improve cardiovascular outcomes of our patients, will require greater and alignment of everyone in this cardiovascular space. Where and when to do it better, than at NHAM Congress 2026.   NHAM, the umbrella organisation that is also home to the Cardiology community in Malaysia, and its 7 sub-societies - ICSM, MPCS, MSA, MSCVT, MHRS, SCIM and WH2O - welcomes all of you to our flagship event. NHAM Congress will also see the launch of new National Clinical Practice Guidelines, a report from our National Cardiovascular Disease Registry and the Convocation ceremony for the Fellowship of the National Heart Association of Malaysia (FNHAM).     With such an exciting agenda on the horizon, on behalf of the 21st Council of the NHAM, let me welcome all of you to NHAM Congress 2026, at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, on 8-10 May!
