"India affiliates with the International Health AI Regulatory Consortium, aiming to bolster surveillance and control over artificial intelligence"
Published on September 4, 2025
In a significant move towards international cooperation for AI-driven solutions in health sectors, India has joined the Health AI Global Regulatory Network (GRN). This collaboration, announced by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) on Thursday, supports India's national strategy for AI.
The aim of this collaboration is to build AI applications and models across the ecosystem, foster collaboration, and broaden adoption. This step is a crucial part of HealthAI's goal to promote fair, secure, and efficient AI-driven solutions in health sectors.
India's participation in HealthAI solidifies its position as a pioneer in the responsible application of AI in healthcare. The collaboration with HealthAI will involve ICMR - NIRDHDS and IndiaAI, who will work together with HealthAI to share safety protocols and monitor AI performance in clinical settings.
The United Kingdom and Singapore, fellow GRN members, will also participate in this collaboration. While the specific other countries that are members of the Health AI Global Regulatory Network and have collaborated with India on AI monitoring and safety in healthcare before September 2025 are not explicitly listed, this collaboration is expected to expand India's reach in the global AI community.
Kavita Bhatia, Chief Operating Officer at IndiaAI, stated that this collaboration supports India's national strategy for AI, which aims to position the country as a global AI workforce and leverage AI for various purposes, including public services, value creation, startup support, and job creation.
Responsible AI is considered a critical enabler to improve service efficiency and expand equitable access to quality care at scale, both nationally and globally. HealthAI plans to launch additional efforts to support pioneer countries, including stakeholder engagements and the exchange of insights to help refine regulatory approaches.
This collaboration is a significant step forward in India's commitment to responsible AI and its role in shaping the future of healthcare. As the world continues to embrace AI technology, India's involvement in initiatives like HealthAI underscores its dedication to ensuring the safe and effective use of AI across Asia and beyond.
