Sarawak has won hosting rights for the 11th Asia Pacific Regional Conference 2028 (APRC 2028) of the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease.
Scheduled to be held in March 2028 in Kuching – and also in conjunction with World Tuberculosis Day – the conference is expected to attract over 1,000 delegates from across the Asia-Pacific region, generating an estimated total economic impact of RM8.2 million (US$2.1 million).
APRC 2028 is organised by the Malaysian Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis in collaboration with the Sarawak State Health Department, Malaysian Thoracic Association, the Anti-Tuberculosis Association of Sarawak, and Universiti Malaysia Sarawak. It is supported by the Ministry of Public Health, Housing and Local Government Sarawak, and Business Events Sarawak.
It will be the first time APRC is hosted on Borneo Island, and the second time in Malaysia since Kuala Lumpur in 2007.
