The inaugural Building Bridges: Hospitals & International Private Medical Insurance conference brought together more than 60 senior leaders from hospitals, insurers, third-party administrators, legal experts, and technology innovators in Barcelona, Spain, March 11–13, 2026.
Held at the stunning Sant Pau Art Nouveau — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — the forum tackled one of international healthcare's most persistent challenges: the historically difficult relationship between healthcare providers and payers. Over the course of a single day of sessions, delegates explored the economics of cross-border care, the technology transforming it, the legal complexities surrounding it, and a bold vision for what international healthcare could look like by 2040.
The Building Bridges 2026 Conference Report captures the full proceedings — session summaries, key data, speaker insights, and actionable recommendations — from a forum designed to turn conversation into standards of practice.
