International Nursing and Midwifery Congress of the Ministry of Defense Helath Services

WELCOME MESSAGE

Dear Esteemed Colleagues, Distinguished Guests, and All Nurses and Midwives,

It is with great pride, honor, and anticipation that I welcome you to the 2nd MODHS International Nursing Congress, the most prestigious and largest gathering of nursing professionals under the Ministry of Defense Health Services. This landmark event will take place from 2–4 November 2025, at the distinguished Crown Plaza RDC in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Under the compelling theme, “Nurses Impact Healthcare Globally: Are We There Yet?”, we come together at a critical time in the evolution of global healthcare. As systems shift, technologies emerge, and patient needs grow more complex, the nursing profession stands at the very heart of transformation. This Congress is a powerful platform to reflect, challenge, and lead—to ask not only where we are, but where we are going and how we will shape that journey together.

As Chairperson of this transformative event, I am deeply honored to lead a team that has curated an exceptional program featuring world-renowned keynote speakers, insightful panel discussions, hands-on workshops, and opportunities to connect, collaborate, and innovate across borders and disciplines.

This Congress is not just a celebration of nursing excellence—it is a call to action. It is a recognition of our collective responsibility to advance patient-centered care, champion equity, embrace digital transformation, and redefine leadership across all levels of healthcare.

Whether you are a front-line caregiver, advanced practice nurse, educator, policymaker, or researcher, your presence here signifies a commitment to progress, partnership, and purpose. Together, let us accelerate transformation and shape a healthcare future that is smarter, safer, and more compassionate.

I warmly invite you to join us in Riyadh this November for a truly unforgettable experience that will inspire, empower, and elevate the nursing profession to new heights.

With heartfelt welcome,

Ms. Mawahib Samater

Congress President
