The Dynamic Duo Behind Ginger Healthcare
Abdul Alim Barbhuiya, a business management graduate from Indiana State University USA and a PLUS Fulbright Scholar, and Dr Arif Khan, a pediatric cardiologist with extensive experience working in India’s top super-speciality hospitals such as Apollo Hospital, Naryana, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, and Max Hospitals, launched Ginger Healthcare in August 2018.
Together, they bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the organisation, ensuring that patients receive the highest quality care possible.
For Abdul, the inspiration to enter the healthcare industry came from personal experience when his relative from the USA needed medical treatment in India.
They found that it was challenging to choose a hospital and undergo treatment without proper guidance and assistance.
This experience led Abdul to realise the need for a reliable organisation that could provide guidance and support to international patients seeking medical treatment in India, leading to the inception of Ginger Healthcare.
Services Offered
Finding reliable guidance and care is essential for international medical travellers who come to India for medical treatment from distant countries such as Kenya, Ethiopia, Iraq, Uzbekistan, etc.
Patients require a trustworthy organisation in India to take care of their well-being during critical medical treatment. However, there are few such organisations available.
Ginger Healthcare aims to fill that gap by becoming the most reliable organisation for international medical travellers in India.
To ensure a smooth and hassle-free treatment experience for international medical travellers in India, Ginger Healthcare offers a range of valuable services, including:
- FREE opinions and estimates from India’s finest medical doctors.

Challenges And Opportunities
Effectively communicating with people from different languages and cultural backgrounds has always been a challenge for the team at Ginger Healthcare; however, it also presented an exciting opportunity to make friends across the globe.
The pandemic had a significant impact on the medical tourism industry, as the closure of international flights brought many businesses to a halt. Businesses with diversified models took a big hit, while those working on lean financial models survived and thrived.
The pandemic forced businesses to embrace digital technology and B2C marketing strategies. Nevertheless, Ginger Healthcare utilised this time to upgrade their website and complete other pending tasks while also learning the importance of saving for adversity during times of prosperity.
“For us, the pandemic was challenging and rewarding as well”
