The Global Health Forum concluded its 2025 Congress in New York, uniting over 500 healthcare leaders to advance cross-border collaboration through innovation, investment, and strategic vision for global health transformation.
“The future of health will be defined by how we share knowledge, innovation, and humanity,” said Dr. Achintya Moulick, Founder and Visionary of the Global Health Forum. “Our mission now is to connect continents through the transfer of intellectual capital, creating bridges between New York, New Delhi, and Dubai, between medicine and technology, and between innovation and empathy.”
“GHF stands at the intersection of intellect, empathy, and execution,” said Dr. Nikki Bajaj. “Our goal is to transform collaboration into impact; where innovation not only inspires but improves lives.”
“Each partnership built through GHF is a bridge between science and systems, between people and purpose,” added Gautam Bazaz. “We’re building a movement where every idea finds its pathway to action.”
“Global Health Forum is an year long collaboration where entrepreneurs like me come together with all kinds of healthcare professionals, VC’s, researchers and academic contributors to collaborate in the changing times fueled by Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Computational Biology ” said Abhishek Shankar, who is heading AI initiatives at Global Health Forum.
A Convergence of Science, Leadership, and Purpose

Concepts presented included next-generation AI diagnostics, virtual therapeutics, and the emotionally intelligent Sofia AI platform, which integrates behavioral signals with medical data to personalize care for emotional well-being.
The Labs marked a fundamental shift in how healthcare ideas are nurtured, transforming conferences from passive learning spaces into active incubators of discovery.
Global Expansion: From New York to New Delhi and Dubai
As part of its next phase, GHF announced the establishment of its India franchise and the development of the GHF Dubai Initiative, designed to strengthen healthcare cooperation between Asia, the Middle East, and the United States.
“Our India franchise represents the next frontier of collaboration, where education, innovation, and industry meet,” said Dr. Moulick. “Through our Dubai extension, we are connecting global institutions, investors, and governments to make health diplomacy tangible.”
Mr. Sanat Chattopadhyay reinforced the importance of this expansion, noting, “India’s scientific strength and Dubai’s innovation infrastructure are essential to building a shared healthcare ecosystem that is global by design and human by intent.”
Leader EHR and Global Partners: Founding Technology Network
The Congress named eClinicalWorks as its founding technology partner and primary sponsor. Their live demonstration introduced AI-enabled smart glasses integrated with EMR systems, displaying real-time patient data through augmented visualization—a leap forward in clinician efficiency and ambient intelligence.
In addition, GHF proudly collaborated with a distinguished network of global sponsors and partners—each contributing breakthrough expertise in medical innovation, infrastructure, and digital transformation.
“Our partnership with a major EHR platform demonstrates how AI can amplify and not replace the clinical intuition,” said Dr. Moulick. “Technology should exist to serve humanity, not overshadow it.”
The Global Collaboration Vision
