The first and second International Conference on Rehabilitation Sciences were conducted in Lahore (2014) and Islamabad (2017) respectively. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the 3^rd  ICRS was conducted virtually for the safety of the speakers and participants. But with the collaboration of renowned national and international speakers, this virtual conference turned into a successful event. The success of virtual ICRS has motivated the stakeholders to not only continue to organize the event but also expand its scope in the processes. 4^th ICRS and 1^st ICAHS was conducted at Pearl Continental Hotel, Lahore (2023). The conference facilitated a vast networking opportunity, enabling professionals, researchers, and practitioners to connect and explore potential collaborative endeavours.the conference showcased successful case studies and best practices from different countries, inspiring collaborative initiatives aimed at improving rehabilitation and allied health methodologies globally.

Maintaining the chain of these international conferences, I am pleased to announce the 5^th International Conference on Rehabilitation Sciences and the 2^nd  International Conference on Allied Health Sciences to be conducted in 2025 in Lahore, Pakistan. The theme for this year’s conference is “Community oriented research and practice”. This is an opportunity for the scholarly discourse of international and national experts to meet in the historic setting of Lahore, Pakistan. As is a tradition with our past conferences – I hope you will enjoy the 5^th ICRS and 2^nd  ICAHS to make new collaborative efforts, network with world-renowned professionals and get new ideas, and above all, have a good time.  I wish and pray that the conference plenary sessions and pre-conference workshops by numerous international and national researchers and clinicians, make your learnings insightful and rewarding.
