ILAMED, India's leading institute for aesthetic medicine, cosmetology and healthcare education, has accelerated its international expansion with the launch of centres in Nairobi (Kenya), Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) and Bangkok (Thailand). The expansion marks a significant milestone in the institute's vision to build a global network for specialised healthcare training across emerging markets. The institute is now preparing to launch its next overseas centre in Cairo (Egypt) in September 2026.
ILAMED commenced its international journey in February 2026 with the launch of its Nairobi centre, followed by Addis Ababa in May 2026. Building on this momentum, the organisation has now established its presence in Bangkok in June 2026, further extending its reach into Southeast Asia. The upcoming Cairo centre is expected to significantly strengthen ILAMED's presence across the African continent, one of the fastest-growing regions for healthcare investment and medical education.
The expansion marks a significant milestone in ILAMED's vision of creating a globally connected network for aesthetic medicine, cosmetology, and advanced healthcare training while addressing the growing demand for skilled professionals and quality healthcare education across emerging markets.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Ajay Rana, Founder and Director of ILAMED, said, “Our international expansion reflects ILAMED's commitment to making world-class aesthetic medicine education and training accessible to healthcare professionals across the globe. Africa, in particular, presents tremendous opportunities due to its growing healthcare infrastructure, increasing demand for specialised medical services, and rising interest in aesthetic medicine. The successful response we have received in Nairobi and Addis Ababa has reinforced our confidence in the region's potential. With Bangkok now operational and Cairo on the horizon, we are steadily building a strong international ecosystem that empowers medical professionals with globally recognised education, advanced clinical skills, and industry-leading expertise."
