USAHA provided a platform for the World Bank Group to share information about the Government of India’s proposed Regional Medical Hubs. The event took place on May 13, 2026, 11:00am – 12:00pm EST.

There was also a Q&A for attendees.
The Indian government is currently in the midst of a design for Regional Medical Hubs, to be delivered through public-private partnerships. These hubs are being envisioned as integrated healthcare complexes that will attract medical value tourism from international as well as national clientele, and potentially comprise of specialty hospitals and centers, facilities for diagnostics, post-care, rehabilitation, and research as well as biotech, medtech, and pharmaceutical centers.
This initiative presents an important opportunity for investors, as it includes very attractive sites near newly established international airports in major metros.
