Hyderabad welcomed India’s first Healthcare Global Capability Centre (GCC), inaugurated by Sridhar Babu Duddilla, Telangana’s Minister of IT and Industries. Established by HCA Healthcare, the 3,000-seater centre is set to create thousands of high-quality jobs while driving innovation at the intersection of healthcare, data, and technology.

The initiative underscores Hyderabad’s robust healthcare ecosystem, spanning drug discovery, clinical trials, APIs, biosimilars, large-scale manufacturing, and world-class hospitals that deliver advanced yet affordable patient care. The city is also emerging as a top medical tourism destination, attracting patients from over 40 countries for treatments including coronary bypasses, IVF, heart surgeries, and joint replacements, often at costs 70–90% lower than in other countries.

Minister Sridhar Babu highlighted the growing need for self-reliant and resilient healthcare in India as demand doubles over the next decade. Telangana is supporting strategic technology and digital public infrastructure initiatives under the #1M1V1T vision, aiming to power next-generation healthcare through AI, data, and research-driven innovation.

HCA Healthcare’s Hyderabad GCC is expected to play a key role in advancing skills, generating employment, and strengthening India’s position in the global healthcare ecosystem, combining innovation with quality, trust, and compassionate care.
