New Delhi: The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has opened a dedicated Health Pavilion at the 45th India International Trade Fair 2026, bringing several national healthcare programmes and public health initiatives under one roof.
The pavilion was inaugurated on Saturday by Dr. M. Srinivas, Member of NITI Aayog, in the presence of Union Health Secretary Punya Salila Srivastava and other senior officials.
The initiative is based on the theme ‘Yuva Bharat, Swasth Bharat’ and aims to increase public awareness about preventive healthcare, early diagnosis and healthy lifestyle practices. It will remain open to visitors at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi from November 14 to 27.
A total of 39 stalls representing 24 national health programmes and organisations have been set up across an area of 989 square metres in Hall No. 4.
The pavilion showcases initiatives covering primary healthcare, immunisation, maternal and child health, digital health services, mental healthcare, food safety, organ donation and disease prevention.
Visitors can also take part in interactive activities, health awareness sessions and live demonstrations of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). A dedicated children’s zone has been included to encourage younger visitors to learn about healthy habits.
Addressing the gathering, Dr. Srinivas highlighted the rising burden of non-communicable diseases and lifestyle-related health conditions. He stressed the importance of awareness, early detection and timely medical intervention.
The pavilion is intended to provide citizens, particularly young people and families, with accessible information about government health programmes and services.
The initiative places public participation and preventive care at the centre of healthcare awareness, encouraging people to make informed choices about their physical and mental well-being.
