Shaping India’s healthcare ecosystem
India’s medical education infrastructure has seen extraordinary growth: the number of medical colleges has increased by 81% from 387 in 2013-2014 to 702 in 2024-2025, while MBBS seats have surged by 125 % to 115,812. Postgraduate medical seats have also risen by 127% over the past decade, strenghtening the pipeline of specialists. However, beyond expanding capacity, the focus must shift to enchancing the quality of medical training. Integrating artifical intelligence, genomics and digital health into curricula will be essential to preparing India’s future healthcare professionals for a rapidly evolving global landscape.
The budget’s emphasis on early screenings, public health campaigns and digital health monitoring signals is a necessary evolution in healthcare strategy. India stands at the cusp of a data-driven healthcare revolution, where predictive analytics, wearable health technologies, and AI-driven risk assessment models could redefine how diseases are detected and managed at scale.
ACCRECENT and CMEPEDIA are playing their part in this ecosystem – to make sure all healthcare professional stay on track with these new developments.
