India is recognized as the global hub for the production of generic medicines and pharmaceuticals. It had utilized its expertise in public health to positively influence geopolitical situations through health diplomacy, positioning it as a form of soft power. India has been providing technical and technological expertise in public health and healthcare to neighbouring countries and sub-Saharan states, often exporting pharmaceuticals and drugs at affordable prices or no cost as part of its humanitarian aid efforts. Developed nations in Europe, including the UK, France, and Germany, have cooperated with India in various health-related endeavours, benefitting from India’s highly skilled healthcare workforce. During the COVID-19 pandemic and other health crises, India’s health diplomacy has gained recognition all over the world, particularly in Europe. This chapter will delve into the different dimensions of health diplomacy between India and other countries worldwide, with a focus on Europe and the UK.
