It is our immense pleasure to welcome you to MEDICON 2026, the prestigious annual conference of the Indian Medical Association – Karnataka State Branch, proudly hosted by the Indian Medical Association Shivamogga Branch.

MEDICON stands as a vibrant confluence of knowledge, innovation, and professional camaraderie, bringing together the IMA fraternity from across the state. Guided by the theme “Empowering Doctors, Elevating Care,” MEDICON 2026 promises a dynamic scientific programme, insightful deliberations, and meaningful interactions with eminent faculty and distinguished colleagues.

Beyond the enriching academic experience, delegates will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the warmth and hospitality of Shivamogga and the breathtaking beauty of the Malnad region. Hosting MEDICON for the sixth time, IMA Shivamogga takes immense pride in continuing its legacy of excellence, following the grand celebration of its Amrutha Mahothsava last year.

On behalf of the Organising Committee, we extend our heartfelt welcome to all delegates, faculty members, and guests. Let us unite to make MEDICON 2026 a memorable celebration of science, solidarity, and service to healthcare.

Welcome to Shivamogga — The Gateway of Malnad,
