The fifth edition of the Global Health & Wellness Festival (GHWF 2026), recognised as one of India’s largest healthcare-focused gatherings, will take place in Jaipur, Rajasthan, on February 28 and March 1, 2026. The event is expected to serve as a major convergence point for India’s healthcare ecosystem, bringing together domestic and international stakeholders under a shared vision of inclusive and preventive health.
Centred on the theme “Local to Global,” GHWF 2026 aims to create a unified platform where doctors, hospitals, insurance providers, corporate leaders, policymakers, and citizens can collectively address pressing healthcare challenges. Key discussions will focus on affordability, access to care, emergency preparedness, and long-term wellness strategies.
Over the years, GHWF has witnessed rapid growth, evolving into what is widely regarded as India’s biggest health festival. Previous editions have drawn thousands of participants, including medical professionals, healthcare executives, insurance specialists, public figures, and more than 100 VIP dignitaries from across the country.
Growing International Engagement Strengthens India’s Healthcare Outreach
The 2026 edition is set to feature participation from hospitals and medical professionals representing China, Malaysia, Dubai, and Singapore. This international presence highlights India’s expanding influence in global healthcare collaboration, medical tourism, and cross-border knowledge exchange.
By fostering closer interaction between healthcare providers and the health insurance sector, GHWF 2026 is expected to encourage meaningful dialogue on insurance literacy, emergency coverage, and sustainable wellness planning.
Attendance Expected to Cross 15,000 Mark
While the previous edition of the festival attracted nearly 10,000 attendees, organisers anticipate a significant rise in participation next year. With increased interest and broader outreach, GHWF 2026 is targeting over 15,000 visitors, positioning it among the largest healthcare events scheduled in India in 2026.
Five World-Record Attempts Planned Over Two Days
Sharing insights into the festival’s ambitions, Himmat Singh, Founder & CEO of Just Health & Wellness (JHW) and GHWF, said:
“Last year, GHWF created history with two world records. In 2026, we are attempting five world records in just two days, setting a new benchmark in community-driven health initiatives.”
The proposed world-record initiatives include:
- Largest gathering of health-insurance advisors at one venue:
Targeting participation from over 3,000 advisors, accompanied by specialised training sessions on soft skills, technology integration, and the use of AI in insurance, with involvement from CEOs of leading health-insurance firms. - Maximum number of corporates united for health-focused initiatives:
Featuring stress-management workshops and Basic Life Support (BLS) training to enhance workplace emergency preparedness. - Biggest women-led awareness campaign on breast and cervical cancer:
Emphasising early diagnosis, preventive education, and timely intervention. - Highest participation of senior citizens at a single event:
Underscoring the festival’s commitment to healthy ageing and elder care. - Largest organ-donation awareness drive:
Backed by the Government of Rajasthan, the initiative aims to secure 10,000 organ-donation pledges.
Mission Code Red Ready: Advancing Emergency Preparedness
One of the flagship initiatives at GHWF 2026 will be Mission Code Red Ready, a nationwide programme by JHW focused on building first-responder capabilities across communities and organisations. The initiative will prioritise CPR and BLS awareness, emergency-response training, and readiness among corporates, institutions, and the general public.
Explaining the purpose behind the initiative, Singh added,
“Our mission is simple – save lives. Mission Code Red Ready is not just a campaign; it is a responsibility.”
Healthcare, Culture, and Medical Tourism on One Platform
Beyond clinical discussions and expert panels, GHWF 2026 will also spotlight India’s growing stature as a global medical-tourism destination. The festival will feature cultural performances by prominent Bollywood celebrities and singers, along with the presentation of the Rajasthani Heroes Awards, organised in association with Gangaur TV, to recognise grassroots changemakers in healthcare and social service.
The festival is spearheaded by a founding team comprising Bhupendra Singh, R.K. Vyas, and Ajay Sharma, whose collective leadership has helped transform GHWF into a nationwide health movement.

Organisers of GHWF 2026 are extending invitations to:
- Corporate and institutional partners to support world-record initiatives
- Healthcare and insurance brands seeking strategic alliances
- Policymakers, eminent doctors, and international experts to contribute to knowledge sessions and panel discussions
From Awareness to Action
With its blend of international participation, large-scale community initiatives, and strong emphasis on emergency readiness, GHWF 2026 aspires to elevate India’s role in global healthcare dialogue. The festival continues to reinforce its core belief — linking grassroots action with global impact to transform awareness into measurable outcomes.
