Union Budget: Five Regional Medical Hubs to Be Set up to Boost Medical Tourism in Country
The Union Budget 2026 aims to create five integrated medical tourism hubs and train 100,000 allied health professionals to boost healthcare jobs and Ayurveda research.
- On Feb 01, 2026, Nirmala Sitharaman proposed a scheme to support States in establishing five regional medical tourism hubs during the Union Budget 2026-27 presentation.
- Aimed at positioning India as a medical value‑tourism destination, the hubs are integrated healthcare complexes combining hospitals, diagnostics, post‑treatment care, rehabilitation, and AYUSH services with private sector partners.
- Under the plan, training institutes will cover 10 selected disciplines, and the Budget proposes three new National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research with seven upgrades.
- The hubs are expected to create diverse job opportunities for doctors and allied health professionals and expand Ayurveda-linked incomes for farmers who grow herbs and youth who process products.
- Budget measures also launched the Biopharma Shakti Mission and will strengthen the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation with a new scientific review cadre.
