Indo UK Institute of Health

What Indo UK Institute of Health does

Indo UK Institute of Health (IUIH), legally UK Global Healthcare Limited, is a UK-incorporated private limited company founded in 2015 under the Companies Act in England and Wales (registration 09800013) with its registered office at 1 Harley Street, London. The company operates a bilateral UK-India healthcare infrastructure platform conceived during Prime Minister Modi's November 2015 UK visit and embedded within the UK-India government-to-government partnership. Operating geographies span India, with planned facilities across Punjab, Haryana, New Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Telangana, Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu.

IUIH's core products are organized into seven wholly-owned operating units: IUIH Hospitals (MediCities) for secondary, tertiary, and quaternary care; Indo UK Clinics (IUCs) for primary care, diagnostics, pharmacy, and pathology; IUHI (Indo UK Healthcare Innovation) for digital health IT and analytics; IUP (Indo UK Procurement) for medical supply chain; IUHR (Indo UK Health Research) for collaborative research; IUWP (Indo UK Workforce Recruitment) for talent acquisition; and IUIH-AM (Asset Maintenance) for facility operations. The technology stack is built around a digital healthcare platform supporting telemedicine, electronic health records, remote monitoring, and real-time analytics intended to evolve from descriptive to predictive and prescriptive analytics. Clinical governance is anchored by partnerships with NHS Hospital Trusts, providing UK-standard clinical protocols, training, and quality assurance.

The business model combines B2C healthcare delivery with B2B infrastructure and procurement services. Revenue streams include healthcare delivery fees (cross-subsidized tiered pricing), pharmacy transactions, diagnostic testing, and managed procurement services across 11 planned zone-level supply chain pillars. Customer segments are the general Indian population across rural and semi-urban areas, plus medical tourists. Go-to-market is government-to-government bilateral partnership, securing state MoUs first, then building NHS-standard facilities with UK clinical governance. At the time of available data, only the first IUC in Ludhiana, Punjab is operational, and the first 300-bed hospital in Nagpur (built by Larsen & Toubro) is under construction. The full platform remains substantially in the build-out phase, with planned targets of 11 MediCities, 5,000 clinics, 11,000 beds, 5,000 doctors, 25,000 nurses, and a target population of 400 million.
