Charting India's Roadmap to Becoming the Global Hub for Medical Value Travel by 2030.
It was a privilege to be part of the CEOs Roundtable at FICCI Advantage Healthcare India 2026 â a closed-door session where the country's leading hospital heads, policymakers and healthcare leaders came together with one shared intent: to move India from a preferred destination to the global benchmark in Medical Value Travel.
The roundtable centred on a question that deserves urgent, honest answers:
How does a country with world-class clinical outcomes and unmatched value still fall short of its full global potential in medical travel?
The answer lies not in capability â but in coordination.
Visa facilitation. Standardised global protocols. Digital continuity of care. Seamless pre-arrival to post-treatment patient journeys. These are not aspirational add-ons. They are the infrastructure of global leadership.
India's healthcare capability is no longer emerging. It is established. What we now need is ecosystem alignment â where government policy and private healthcare move in deliberate, coordinated stride toward 2030. Forums like these matter because they convert aspiration into actionable direction.
The opportunity ahead is immense. The responsibility is even greater.
