Hosted by IQ City Knowledge & Health Campus, Durgapur, the summit was held at JW Marriott Hotel Kolkata on 17 August 2026.

Held under the theme “Tomorrow’s Doctors. In Conversation with Today’s Medical Leaders,” the summit centred on the importance of creating meaningful connections between established medical leadership and young professionals preparing to shape the healthcare landscape in the years ahead. The event provided a platform for conversations around medical excellence, leadership, innovation and education, while highlighting the collective responsibility of institutions and individuals in strengthening healthcare in Bengal.

A Forum Connecting Medical Leadership With Tomorrow’s Doctors

The summit reflected a broader vision of healthcare development in which medical education extends beyond classrooms and clinical training to include exposure to leadership, innovation, professional responsibility and the evolving needs of society.
By bringing experienced healthcare professionals and medical leaders into conversation with tomorrow’s doctors, the event sought to encourage the exchange of perspectives across generations. Such interactions can help students and young medical professionals understand the changing nature of healthcare, the importance of ethical and patient-centred practice, and the role of innovation in improving medical outcomes.

The gathering also recognised the contribution of educators and policymakers in shaping the environment in which healthcare professionals are trained and institutions operate. The participation of these diverse groups underscored the need for collaboration between medical education, healthcare delivery, public policy and professional leadership.
