The Gujarat National Law University (GNLU), through its Centre for Healthcare, Ethics, Legal Advocacy and Policy Research (G-HELP), has announced the 3rd National Conference on Medical Law, Policy & Ethics (MEDLAWCON-2026), to be held on 7–8 February 2026 at GNLU, Gandhinagar, Gujarat.
This year's conference, themed “Technology-Driven Healthcare: Governance, Law and Ethics”, aims to explore the rapidly evolving intersection of healthcare, law, technology, and ethics. As innovations such as artificial intelligence, telemedicine, genomics, IoT-based medical devices, and robotic care redefine healthcare delivery, MEDLAWCON–2026 seeks to engage legal, medical, and policy experts in critical dialogue on their implications for governance, accountability, and human rights.
The conference will provide a platform for academicians, healthcare professionals, legal practitioners, policymakers, ethicists, and students to deliberate on key issues such as:
- Governing AI and algorithms in healthcare: liability and ethical guardrails
- Digital health data privacy and cybersecurity
- Patient rights and informed consent in digital-first healthcare
- Biotechnology, xenotransplantation, and genomic frontiers
- Public health technology, state obligations, and constitutional ethics
- Global governance and harmonization of health-tech regulations
By fostering interdisciplinary exchange, MEDLAWCON–2026 aspires to shape the future of medical law and health governance in India, ensuring innovation in healthcare remains ethical, inclusive, and legally accountable.
