Dear Students, 

SPASHT 2026 is a reflection of the enthusiasm, curiosity, and commitment that our students bring to the field of medicine. It is designed to provide a meaningful learning experience that goes beyond the classroom, offering opportunities to explore both fundamental concepts and the evolving dimensions of healthcare. 

The sessions and activities planned for this year aim to encourage interaction, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of the subject. Such platforms play an important role in shaping future doctors by fostering confidence, collaboration, and a spirit of inquiry. 

Led by the passion and initiative of our students, SPASHT 2026 goes beyond being just a conference. It is an experience that brings together ideas, perspectives, and learning in a meaningful way. I hope it inspires you to think deeper, engage actively
