Growing attention to preventive healthcare and mental well-being brought policymakers, medical professionals, and wellness experts together in New Delhi for the Pulse of Positivity Health and Wellness Summit 2026.
The one day summit, organised by Pulse of Positivity at Le Méridien in New Delhi, created a platform for discussions on key health priorities shaping India’s evolving healthcare landscape.
