BTA, TMTC and Marengo Asia Hospitals Announce Global Partnership for Medical Value Travel BAPIO Training Academy (BTA), The Medical Travel Company (TMTC) and Marengo Asia Hospitals are delighted to announce that they have entered into a global partnership focused on increasing medical value travel (MVT) into India.
BAPIO Training Academy (BTA), The Medical Travel Company (TMTC) and Marengo Asia Hospitals are delighted to announce that they have entered into a global partnership focused on increasing medical value travel (MVT) into India. The partnership, which was announced during a roundtable on medical value travel organised in London by BTA, TMTC, Marengo Asia Hospitals and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), will initially concentrate on establishing a MVT pathway between the UK and India.
The roundtable brought together leading stakeholders with an interest in promoting MVT between the two countries including representatives from Indian hospitals, UK healthcare trusts, Start-ups in the medical value travel industry, both Indian and UK governments, patients and eminent doctors from both countries. Dr. Sanjay Jaiswal, Chief Whip, Bharatiya Janata Party (Lok Sabha), Chair of Parliamentary Estimates Committee and Chair of the Indo-UK Healthcare Alliance, was the Chief Guest at the event and Dan Aldridge, Member of Parliament for Weston-super-Mare was a Guest of Honour.
As part of the partnership, BTA, TMTC and Marengo Asia Hospitals will work seamlessly to ensure that patients receive a personalised end-to-end care offering including prompt consultations with highly experienced doctors both in the UK and India, treatment at BTA-accredited hospitals in India following UK treatment and infection control protocols, access to bespoke premium after-care facilities in India and private insurance upon return to the UK.
In his remarks during the roundtable, Dr. Sanjay Jaiswal highlighted that this ground-breaking partnership aligns closely with Prime Minister Modi’s ‘Heal in India’ initiative and will help elevate India’s standing in the medical value travel industry globally. He also stressed that this partnership will allow Indian patients to travel to the UK for medical care. Furthermore, Dr. Jaiswal said that 100% FDI is allowed in India and he encouraged UK investors and companies to increase their investment in Indian healthcare. This will be a win-win situation for the India-UK investment corridor and will attract patients from other countries.
Prof. Parag Singhal, CEO of BAPIO Training Academy, said: “This global partnership is the first initiative of its kind and is fully aligned with BTA’s objectives of elevating healthcare standards, strengthening the ‘living bridge’ between the UK and India, and improving patient outcomes in both countries. BTA is happy to be partnering with TMTC and Marengo Asia Hospitals, who share BTA’s vision for enhancing healthcare delivery globally”.
Mr. Ankit Mehrotra, Founder of TMTC, remarked: “At TMTC, we are dedicated to revolutionizing medical travel for UK patients by building the world’s first full-service platform that makes cross-border healthcare simple, safe, and trusted. We have partnered with the top medical professionals in The UK and the best hospitals and surgeons in India, set-up our state-of-the-art post-surgery recovery centre and launched the first of its kind post-surgery insurance product for the patient once they are back in the UK. Our commitment is to deliver seamless comprehensive care from initial consultation to post-treatment recovery, ensuring patients receive the best possible clinical outcomes. At TMTC, we are building more than a platform—we are building a bridge between people and the care they deserve.”
Dr. Raajiv Singhal, Founding Member, Managing Director and Group CEO, Marengo Asia Hospitals, said: “We are honoured to be the Preferred Partner for Medical Value Travel under the Indo-UK Clinical Corridor initiative. At Marengo Asia Hospitals, we have always believed in the power of global collaboration, and our Clinical Corridors model—on the principles of Teach, Train, and Treat—will be central to this partnership. As a Co-Chair of the MVT Committee at FICCI, we propagate this concept in the industry as a sustainable framework for knowledge exchange, clinical excellence, and capacity building across borders. This approach not only facilitates the movement of patients, but also of clinicians, ideas, and innovation. Through this association, patients from the UK will gain access to timely, high-quality treatment at Marengo Asia Hospitals in India. They will also experience personalised care and the support of super-specialities that are often time-consuming to access in their home system. The strategic locations of our hospitals—particularly in the northern and western regions of India—are designed not only to serve local communities and civilians, but also to resonate with the large Indian diaspora from these very regions now settled in the UK.”
