The first edition of BCC&I Health and Wellbeing Show in 2003 had an iconic launch and was immensely successful. Though the issues in the realm of Health and Wellness is the basic theme of the show yet each year the show has featured new concepts, new practices and fresh ideas. In this space, the Bengal Chamber has always pledged to take forward the objective of having an affordable, accessible, sustainable and high quality “Health for All’.
The Bengal Chamber’s Health Committee has been playing an important role in addressing the critical aspects in the field of healthcare in the State and has been catalytic in bringing about significant corporate consciousness in healthcare management. It has organized Health Expositions, quizzes, Panel Discussions and Lectures on Health issues by leading and iconic personalities in health from the fraternities of doctors, entrepreneurs and policymakers.
