On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I extend a warm invitation to all delegates, faculty members, trainees, and healthcare professionals joining us in Lahore from 25–27 September 2026.

CRAFT was established with a clear vision to strengthen maternal and reproductive healthcare in Pakistan by bridging the gap between primary, secondary, district, and tertiary care services. Over the years, the conference has evolved into a respected national academic platform that brings together clinicians, researchers, educators, and policymakers with a shared commitment to improving women’s health.

This year’s scientific programme has been carefully designed to address the most pressing challenges in obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive medicine. Through keynote lectures, panel discussions, hands-on workshops, free paper presentations, posters, and live demonstrations, participants will gain practical knowledge that can be translated into everyday clinical practice.

A defining objective of CRAFT 2026 is to bring maternal healthcare providers from district hospitals and peripheral centers under one academic umbrella, promoting uniform standards of care, evidence-based practice, and practical surgical skill development. We firmly believe that sustainable improvements in maternal health can only be achieved through collaboration, continuous education, and equitable access to modern clinical knowledge.

I sincerely thank our distinguished national and international faculty, our partners, sponsors, and every participant for contributing to this important academic endeavor. Your presence and expertise are invaluable in shaping the future of maternal and reproductive healthcare in Pakistan. I look forward to welcoming you to CRAFT 2026 and wish you an inspiring, productive, and memorable conference.
