This year, RASCON 25 takes a bold leap into the future by expanding its horizons and embracing a truly borderless approach. For the first time, the conference will be held not only in Lahore, Pakistan but also in the dynamic city of Istanbul, Turkey, bringing together professionals, researchers, and innovators from around the world. The theme of sustainable rehabilitation and allied health sciences, paired with the integration of AI, ethics, and multidisciplinary innovations, sets the stage for a truly global exchange of ideas that will have far-reaching effects on healthcare practices worldwide.

The choice of Istanbul as the host city for the international chapter is symbolic of RASCON’s commitment to breaking down geographical, cultural, and disciplinary barriers. Istanbul, often referred to as the “gateway” between East and West, perfectly represents the collaborative spirit that defines RASCON 25. It is a city where diverse cultures, ideas, and traditions converge—an ideal backdrop for a conference that aims to unite rehabilitation and allied health professionals across borders. This year’s edition marks a transformative step towards creating a truly inclusive and global healthcare network, where knowledge and innovation flow seamlessly across continents.

As RASCON 25 unfolds, the conference will provide an unparalleled platform for professionals to collaborate, learn, and exchange ideas. For many, it will be an opportunity to engage with the latest advancements in rehabilitation sciences, from cutting-edge AI technologies that improve patient care to ethical considerations surrounding their implementation. The conference is expected to ignite deep discussions on how digital ecosystems are transforming healthcare, both locally and globally, and how multidisciplinary approaches can lead to sustainable, patient-centered solutions.

Expectations are high for this year’s conference as RASCON becomes a bridge—connecting local professionals with their international counterparts. Through keynote speeches, interactive workshops, and panel discussions, the conference aims to spark collaborative breakthroughs that can shape the future of rehabilitation and allied health sciences. With participants from across the globe, this year’s edition promises to drive cross-border partnerships, research advancements, and policy reforms that will have a lasting impact on the global healthcare landscape.

As we come together in Istanbul, RASCON 25 will not only showcase the power of interdisciplinary collaboration but will also help pave the way for a borderless future in healthcare, where innovation, research, and patient care transcend boundaries to create a more inclusive, efficient, and ethical global healthcare system. The time has come to move beyond borders and build a future where healthcare knows no limits.
