Turning Pain Into Purpose: Sonam Garg’s Vision for Medical Tourism
In an inspiring interview, Sonam Garg, CEO and Founder of Medical Linkers, shares how personal tragedy fueled her mission to position India as a leader in global medical tourism. Her story isn’t just about business—it’s about transforming grief into a force for change.
The Birth of Medical Linkers
After losing a loved one to inadequate healthcare access, Garg channeled her anguish into creating Medical Linkers, a platform bridging international patients with India’s top-tier hospitals. “I wanted no one else to suffer due to lack of options,” she explains. Today, her company facilitates seamless medical journeys for patients worldwide, combining affordability with cutting-edge treatments.
Why India? The Medical Tourism Advantage
India’s medical tourism sector thrives on three pillars:
- Cost-Effectiveness: Procedures often cost 60-80% less than in Western countries.
- World-Class Facilities:
Hospitals accredited by JCI and ISO rival global standards. - Holistic Care: From Ayurveda to robotic surgery, India offers diverse treatment options.
Breaking Barriers with Technology
Medical Linkers leverages AI-driven platforms to simplify:
- Virtual consultations with specialists
- Transparent pricing comparisons
- End-to-end travel logistics, including recovery retreats
The Road Ahead
Garg’s ambitions extend beyond borders: “We’re building partnerships in Africa and Southeast Asia to democratize healthcare access.” With initiatives like tele-rehabilitation and multi-lingual support, her team is redefining what medical travel can achieve.
For travelers seeking quality care abroad, India—and visionaries like Garg—are proving that healing knows no boundaries.
