The SAPH Task Force are hosting their 19th Annual Conference in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on 12–14 February 2026. This meeting brings together regional specialists and global experts to explore the latest developments in pulmonary vascular disease, update clinical practice, and highlight emerging research priorities. The programme spans adult and paediatric PH, diagnostics, management strategies, and state-of-the-art therapeutic approaches, and will feature internationally recognised speakers.
The 18th SAPH Annual Conference took place on 13–15 February 2025 in Riyadh, welcoming more than 250 participants, expanded industry support, and international PH societies from across the world. The programme combined practical workshops with sessions on PAH basic science, diagnostics, classification, risk stratification, management, and CTEPH, delivered by regional and global experts.
Hands-on activities, a busy exhibition hall, and a cultural gala dinner contributed to a lively and engaging meeting. SAPH also shared updates from its ongoing collaboration with PVRI and announced SAPH2026 in Jeddah.
Interested in accessing global data on PH patient experience? Almost 4,000 patients and carers across 85 countries completed Phase 1 of our PH Global Patient Survey (PHGPS). Questions across all PH groups included diagnostic tests & timelines, genetic testing, treatments, financial burdens, hospital visits, research participation, quality of life, telemedicine, patient-reported outcome measures, and self-monitoring with digital technology. The findings have the potential to improve patient care, guide future research and help us address unmet needs.
