Exceptional Medical Innovations Celebrated at Healthcare Asia Awards 2026

The awards programmes recognise top-notch healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, and health tech pioneers for transforming care delivery across Asia.

Asia continues to transform its healthcare landscape through digitalisation, patient-centred care, and clinical innovation that are driven by pioneering hospitals and forward-thinking healthcare technology providers. These institutions shape the region’s dynamic healthcare landscape by elevating standards and improving outcomes.

Shining a spotlight on these industry leaders, the 2026 Healthcare Asia Awards, Healthcare Asia Pharma Awards, and Healthcare Asia Medtech Awards honoured those who are driving meaningful change in the healthcare, pharma, and medtech sectors.

  • Healthcare Asia Awards is dedicated to honouring exceptional hospitals across Asia that redefine the standards of excellence in the healthcare industry.
  • Healthcare Asia Pharma Awards is focused on celebrating outstanding Asian pharma companies that demonstrate excellence.
  • Healthcare Asia Medtech Awards recognises exemplary medtech companies across Asia that deliver significant impact on healthcare transformation.

These awards programmes highlight accomplishments, innovations and leadership across Asia’s healthcare ecosystem. Amongst this year’s winners was Dr Dennis P. Serrano of St. Luke’s Medoaical Center (SLMC), who was named CEO of the Year.

It is with deep humility and great pride that I accept this award, not just for myself, but in behalf of the extraordinary people who work with me at St. Luke’s Medical Center in our two hospitals—the more than 10,000 strong workforce of doctors, nurses, and associates who show up each day with skill, with purpose, and with compassion. These are the true heroes of our daily lives,” said Serrano. “Central to our mission is the delivery of the best patient care that we can afford to our customers. Moving goalposts, we know, but we chase nonetheless every day in this infinite game that we call healthcare delivery.

The winners of Healthcare Asia Awards 2026 were unveiled at a prestigious gala dinner on 26 March 2026 at Marina Bay Sands & Convention Centre, where senior healthcare executives, policymakers, and industry stakeholders from the region will gather. 

All submissions will be carefully reviewed by an esteemed panel of healthcare experts and senior leaders based on innovation, sustainability, and measurable outcomes. The judges include Kavita Rekhraj, Life Sciences & Health Care Industry Leader, Deloitte Asia Pacific & Southeast Asia; Chris Hardesty, Partner, Pureland Venture; Dr. Stephanie Allen, Senior Advisor – Kearney, Healthcare & Life-science, Asia Pacific, and Leader of Women’s Health Network, Asia Pacific, Kearney; Abhay Bangi, Asean and Singapore Life Sciences and Health Care, Leader, EY-Parthenon; and Dr. Feras Mahdi, Partner, L.E.K.
