As we begin 2026, we look back on 2025 with gratitude and reflection on what shared learning across countries made possible.

Across IFIC’s country hubs, international networks, education programmes, research collaborations and conferences, one theme stood out consistently. Progress happens when people are connected, learning is shared openly, and system change is explored honestly across boundaries.

In 2025, the IFIC community came together in powerful ways. Locally grounded hubs in Ireland, Scotland, Canada, Australia and Latin America deepened connections and learning. European and global collaborations advanced policy, practice and evidence. Education programmes reached learners in more than a dozen countries. And the Foundation’s international conference brought together diverse voices from around the world.

Thank you to everyone across our global community who contributed time, insight and energy throughout 2025. We look forward to continuing the journey together in 2026.

⚠️Welcoming New Members to the IFIC Board⚠️

We are pleased to welcome three new members to the Board of the International Foundation for Integrated Care (IFIC).

Earlier this year, IFIC ran a rigorous open application and interview process to strengthen the Board with additional international expertise. Following this process, Dr Ng Yeuk Fan, Diana Vilela Breda, and Professor Hein Raat were appointed and formally joined the Board in September. They have now completed their induction and are fully engaged in IFIC’s governance and strategic work.
Each brings a distinct perspective shaped by their professional and national contexts.

Dr Ng Yeuk Fan is a public health physician and health systems innovator from Singapore. His work spans integrated care design, population health, systems thinking, and the application of artificial intelligence to health system learning and transformation. He brings deep experience in translating complex system design into practical, human-centred models of care.

Diana Vilela Breda is a senior healthcare executive from Portugal with a strong background in hospital management, mental health systems, and integrated care innovation. Her work has focused on person-centred pathways, community partnerships, age-friendly services, and policy engagement at national and European level.

Professor Hein Raat is an emeritus professor of public health at Erasmus Medical Center in the Netherlands and a practising public health physician. His expertise includes preventive care, health inequalities, integrated health and social care, digital health applications, and the use of patient-reported outcome measures to support shared decision-making.

Together, they strengthen the Board’s international reach and its mix of system leadership, research, policy, and frontline practice. We look forward to working with them as IFIC continues to support learning, collaboration, and practical improvement in integrated care across countries and contexts. We wish them every success with their appointments.
