We are thrilled to introduce the official mascots for the 24th Asian Congress on Occupational Health (ACOH) 2026, taking place in the heart of Borneo, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia!

Inspired by Sarawak's iconic and beloved orangutans, Apai and Indai embody the core mission of this congress. In the local Iban language, "Apai" means father and "Indai" means mother, reflecting a deep sense of guardianship, community, and care.

World Hearing Day

Theme: โ€œFrom Communities to Classrooms: Hearing Care for All Childrenโ€

Hearing is essential to speech, learning, and social development. Many causes of childhood hearing loss are preventable or manageable through early screening, timely intervention, and safe listening practices. This yearโ€™s theme emphasizes shared responsibilityโ€”from families and community health workers to educators and healthcare professionalsโ€”to ensure every child has access to hearing care.

In support of this advocacy, PCOM promotes early detection, inclusive education, and equitable access to hearing services for all children.
