As the host city for the International Malaria Conclave 2026, Delhi provides the perfect backdrop for global collaboration and intellectual exchange, offering world-class infrastructure, unmatched connectivity, and warm Indian hospitality.
Steeped in centuries of history, Delhi is home to some of India’s most iconic landmarks — from the majestic Red Fort and towering Qutub Minar to the serene Lotus Temple and India Gate. The city beautifully bridges the past and the present, where ancient Mughal architecture coexists with modern skylines, vibrant bazaars, and research institutions at the forefront of science and public health.
Recognized as a hub for science, policy, and global health, New Delhi hosts several national and international organizations, including the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), World Health Organization (WHO–SEARO), and leading universities, hospitals, and think tanks. This unique blend of scientific leadership and policymaking excellence makes Delhi an ideal venue for global discussions on disease elimination, health innovation, and sustainable development.
Beyond the academic and institutional sphere, New Delhi offers a kaleidoscope of cultural, culinary, and natural experiences. Wander through the historic lanes of Chandni Chowk, indulge in the city’s street food delights like chaat and parathas, or unwind at the tranquil Lodhi Gardens. Explore the artistic charm of Hauz Khas Village, the grandeur of Rashtrapati Bhavan, or immerse yourself in modern Delhi’s dynamic spirit at Connaught Place and India Habitat Centre.
For nature enthusiasts, Delhi surprises with its green oases — from Lodhi Gardens and Nehru Park to the Garden of Five Senses — offering peaceful escapes amid the urban energy. The city’s culinary scene is equally vibrant, ranging from bustling local eateries to world-class restaurants representing global cuisines.
With excellent air, rail, and road connectivity, and a wide range of accommodation options, Delhi ensures comfort and convenience for every delegate attending the conclave.
