Dear Colleagues, Association of Physicians of India,

It gives me immense pleasure to extend a warm welcome to each one of you to APICON 2026, the 81st Annual Conference of the Association of Physicians of India, to be held in the historic city of Patna, Bihar.

The Indian College of Physicians (ICP) has always been a premier academic platform, bringing together physicians from across the nation and beyond to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and foster collaborations that strengthen the very foundation of medical practice.

As APICON 2026 approaches, our preparations for a grand CME are underway. I am working tirelessly to ensure its success, with highlights including esteemed orations, workshops, and updates on recent advances in medicine.

I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations and appreciation to all contributors for their dedication and hard work.

Thank You

Dr. (Prof.) Kamlesh Tewary

Dean, ICP & Past President, API
