The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) is organising the 8th Edition of Advantage Healthcare India (AHCI) 2026, Asia’s largest Medical Value Travel (MVT) platform, scheduled to be held from 23rd to 25th February 2026 at the India Expo Centre & Mart, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh.
Since its inception in 2015, Advantage Healthcare India has evolved into one of the most global platforms in the Medical Value Travel ecosystem, witnessing participation from leading stakeholders across the healthcare and wellness sectors worldwide.
The initiative aims to position India as a leading global destination for integrated healthcare by showcasing its advanced medical technology, world-class hospitals, highly skilled healthcare professionals, cost-effective treatment solutions, and rich heritage of traditional systems of medicine including Ayush.
The event will feature a wide range of programming components, including a large-scale healthcare exhibition showcasing hospitals, wellness centres, and health-tech companies, along with an international conference on Medical Value Travel that will also include a dedicated BRICS session. The platform will further facilitate structured Reverse Buyer–Seller Meetings (RBSM) to enable focused B2B and B2G engagements and will culminate with the prestigious FICCI Medical Value Travel Awards Ceremony recognizing excellence in the sector.
The organisers said that AHCI 2026 will witness strong global participation, with over 200 foreign delegates from more than 40 countries across Africa, CIS, the Middle East, SAARC, and ASEAN regions. Delegations will include Heads of Government Hospitals, senior Health Ministry officials, CEOs of private hospitals, leaders of medical associations, insurance companies, and medical value travel facilitators.
The exhibition will host participation from multi-specialty hospitals, dental clinics, Ayush hospitals, wellness centres, and MedTech and HealthTech companies through a dedicated pavilion. Aligned with the Government of India’s broader vision to position India as a global healthcare leader, AHCI supports the objectives of the ‘Heal in India’ and ‘Heal by India’ initiatives. ‘Heal in India’ seeks to establish India as a global hub for Medical Value Travel by promoting high-quality, affordable, and accessible healthcare services, while ‘Heal by India’ aims to strengthen India’s role as a provider of skilled healthcare professionals to the world, projecting India’s healthcare expertise as a key component of its global engagement.
The FICCI Medical Value Travel Awards will recognise excellence in the sector across key categories including Hospital of the Year (Multi-Specialty), Ayush Hospital of the Year, Wellness Centre of the Year, and Medical Value Travel Facilitator of the Year.
With global participation, structured business engagements, policy dialogue, and recognition of excellence, AHCI 2026 is poised to further strengthen India’s position as a trusted and preferred destination for quality, affordable, and holistic healthcare solutions, said the organisers.
