Vaidam Health, a leading player in India’s medical tourism industry, has acquired MediJourney in a strategic step to grow faster worldwide. MediJourney is a digital-first healthcare platform launched in 2024 by Ferns N Petals (FNP). The all-cash acquisition aims to boost Vaidam’s global health tourism efforts, strengthen its digital infrastructure, and improve services for patients.
This move positions Vaidam to expand in new and growing markets. It also allows the company to bring its trusted support services to more international patients looking for reliable and affordable healthcare in India.
MediJourney uses a tech-focused approach to help patients from other countries find safe, quality treatment. Its digital system offers clear information and easy communication, which helps patients feel more confident in their decisions. By adding MediJourney’s tools to its platform, Vaidam can now serve more people with even faster and smarter services.
MediJourney’s Co-Founder Rishabh Jalan called the merger a smart match. He said the two companies share the same goal: making healthcare more open and user-friendly. The deal also helps MediJourney focus on new strategies while reaching more patients through Vaidam’s strong network.
Founded in 2016 by Pankaj Chandna and Manish Chandra, Vaidam Health has become one of India’s most trusted names in medical tourism. It supports over 25,000 global patient visits each month. Patients use the platform to explore treatment options, get help with visas, find interpreters, and receive care after treatment. Vaidam works with top hospitals in India and has teams in seven countries.
With this acquisition, Vaidam expects a 40 to 50 percent increase in patient interactions within the next year. It will also grow its teams in important regions like Africa and Southeast Asia, where more people are looking to India for advanced, low-cost healthcare.
Vaidam plans to keep MediJourney running under its brand while adding new features. These include smart AI tools, better onboarding for patients, and smooth coordination with hospitals. The goal is to make each step—from choosing a hospital to returning home after care—easier and less stressful.
Co-Founder of Vaidam Health, Pankaj Chandna, said the deal supports their mission to help people access the best care in India. He praised MediJourney’s platform and said it would help Vaidam grow faster while staying focused on quality and care.
With India emerging as a global hub for health tourism, this acquisition comes at the right time. Vaidam’s mix of tech tools and personal support gives it an edge over others. Adding MediJourney will help serve more patients faster, while still offering trusted, human support.
The company wants to create the world’s most complete and reliable platform for global health tourism. It is not just a directory of hospitals, but a full-service system built on trust, easy-to-use tech, and real-time human care.
By taking over MediJourney, Vaidam is showing that smart technology and human kindness can work together to solve real problems for people seeking treatment abroad. This change not only benefits patients but also supports India’s rising role in the global health sector.
