Mumbai: Z Bharat successfully hosted the Global Health & Wellness Summit 2025—the largest Indian health conclave ever organised on international soil—in Hanoi, Vietnam. This global summit highlighted India’s rising leadership in the global healthcare space and brought together a constellation of leading doctors, healthcare experts, scientists, and policymakers from across sectors. Organised with the vision of ‘Healthy Society, Prosperous Nation,’ was a transformative movement of recognition, innovation, and dialogue.
This on-ground global event featured a series of expert-led panel discussions, beginning with a powerful session on nephrology that explored the growing burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in India. Doctors such as Dr. Geet Bajpai, Dr. Laxmi Kant Tripathi, Dr. Anil Prasad Bhatt, Dr. Jitendra Kumar, and Dr. Alok Kumar took the stage to delve into the intricate links between diabetes, CKD, and neuropathic pain. Their insights ranged from treatment innovations like Dibnepan and PEA to policy interventions that could accelerate access to kidney care. The panel underscored the urgency of early diagnosis, affordability, and patient education in tackling India’s silent renal epidemic.
A special session celebrated the inspirational journeys of two industry pioneers: Dr. T.N. Tiwari, a globally renowned food scientist and dairy technocrat, and Mr. Ramesh Arora, the founder of Qwality Pharma. From indigenous nutritional innovations to affordable quality medicines, both speakers represented the kind of homegrown excellence that is positioning India as a powerhouse in preventive and curative healthcare. Their discussions emphasized that true impact is made not just in laboratories, but in every home, every child, and every citizen reached.
The second panel featured renowned homeopathy expert Dr. Arpit Chopra, who has brought a new scientific dimension to integrative medicine through over two decades of clinical research and practice, highlighting India’s potential to lead globally in alternative healthcare systems rooted in data, empathy, and outcomes. He was joined by Mr. Pawan Yadav, a dynamic entrepreneur from Indore, who shared his vision of wellness-focused living through community-driven development and sustainability. Together, they presented a forward-thinking approach to healthcare as a holistic ecosystem that prioritizes not just the absence of illness but the cultivation of overall well-being. Adding diplomatic significance to the summit, the Representative of the Indian Mission in Hanoi underscored the importance of international health diplomacy and India’s expanding role in global collaborations around wellness, medical tourism, and public health, noting that as India’s medical expertise grows, so must its international cooperation and leadership.
One of the most emotional moments of the day was the grand felicitation of doctors from various disciplines, honouring them as ‘warriors in white coats’. The segment served as a symbolic reminder that behind every cured patient is a story of sacrifice, compassion, and resilience. As applause echoed through the hall, doctors were honoured for their noble service towards humanity
