Joining Shah in the new leadership are Dr Sangita Reddy, Joint MD, Apollo Hospitals Enterprise as Senior Vice President and Himanshu Baid, MD, Poly Medicure as Vice President, Varun Khanna, Group Managing Director, Quality Care India, elected as Secretary, NATHEALTH, and Rishubh Gupta, MD, India and Neighboring Markets, Roche Diagnostics India, as Treasurer, NATHEALTH.
In his ongoing role as Secretary General, Siddhartha Bhattacharya will continue to lead the NATHEALTH Secretariat in fostering strategic partnerships, uniting healthcare stakeholders through regional chapters, and working closely with policymakers to shape the future of healthcare in India.
Shah said, "India is on the cusp of a healthcare transformation, with the potential to not just serve its population but to emerge as a global hub for innovation, medical excellence, and affordable care. However, achieving Viksit Bharat 2047 requires us to address systemic challenges, strengthen quality standards, and accelerate digital health adoption. Public-private collaboration will be instrumental in bridging these gaps and positioning India as a leader in MedTech, diagnostics, and medical value travel. As the President of NATHEALTH, my focus will be on driving meaningful partnerships, advocating for policy reforms, and creating an ecosystem where innovation thrives. The future of healthcare is not just about infrastructure, it is about reimagining delivery models, investing in technology, and ensuring that high-quality care is accessible to every Indian. Through collective action, we can position India at the forefront of global healthcare and make our system more resilient, inclusive, and future-ready.”
Dr Reddy said, “India stands at a pivotal moment where healthcare must evolve to meet the needs of a growing and diverse population. Our focus must be on strengthening healthcare infrastructure, streamlining regulations on insurance, building capabilities, and integrating technology to enhance patient outcomes. As the sector moves towards preventive and personalised care, ensuring affordability and accessibility remains paramount. NATHEALTH will play a crucial role in fostering industry-wide collaboration and advocating for reforms that drive efficiency and excellence. I look forward to working with all stakeholders to shape policies and innovations that make high-quality healthcare a reality for every Indian.”
