ABOUT THE CONCLAVE

Redefining Healthcare Leadership in India

The 9th Edition of the Times Now Doctor’s Day Conclave comes at a pivotal moment for India’s healthcare journey. The conversation is no longer only about expanding access. It is now about delivering better outcomes, building trust, and shaping a system that can support longer, healthier lives.

Anchored in the theme The Pulse of India: One million healers. One billion lives, the 2026 edition brings together doctors, policymakers, innovators, and industry leaders to reflect on where healthcare is headed and what it will take to get there.

This is not just a celebration of the medical fraternity. It is a space for honest dialogue, new thinking, and shared responsibility. A platform where the role of the doctor continues to evolve, not just as a caregiver, but as someone shaping the future of healthcare for the country.
