New Delhi, India (13th May 2026): Vaidam Health has announced the acquisition of CancerRounds, an oncology-focused healthcare platform that supports cancer patients in connecting with doctors, hospitals and treatment options. Through this acquisition, Vaidam Health aims to further strengthen its oncology-focused patient navigation capabilities and enhance support for patients seeking comprehensive and coordinated cancer care solutions across borders. As cancer care becomes increasingly specialized and multi-disciplinary, patients and families today are seeking support that extends far beyond hospital discovery. From accessing second opinions and personalized treatment pathways to managing medical documentation and travel coordination, the cancer journey today goes far beyond treatment alone. Patients often require continuous support and seamless coordination across specialists, hospitals and geographies, including during post-treatment care and follow-ups. CancerRounds is a platform for assisting both domestic and international cancer patients by having tie-ups with leading cancer centers and doctors. They have helped more than 5,000+ patients, facilitated connections with over 500+ oncologists, and worked with over 200 hospitals, globally. Achieving high patient satisfaction, CancerRounds has established itself as a pioneer in assisting patients in their journey with difficult cancer diagnoses For international patients, cancer care can be particularly difficult to navigate. Treatment often involves multiple medical opinions, clarity on available therapies, quick decision-making, access to the right specialist, financial planning, medical documentation, visas, travel and accommodation. These challenges become more urgent in advanced-stage cases, where delays or fragmented information can affect the overall treatment journey. "Oncology has consistently been one of our largest medical travel verticals. Cancer patients and their families often need a higher level of guidance because treatment decisions are time-sensitive, specialized and deeply personal. CancerRounds has built focused experience in oncology care navigation, and this acquisition allows us to bring that capability into our existing international patient services.” said Pankaj Chandna, Co-founder of Vaidam Health. The acquisition will enable the integration of CancerRounds’ oncology care navigation experience with Vaidam Health’s international patient services. The combined work will focus on doctor discovery, treatment opinion coordination, hospital shortlisting, documentation assistance, travel coordination and post-treatment follow-up for patients seeking cancer treatment outside their home country. “Every cancer journey is deeply personal, and patients need access to the right expertise at the right time. CancerRounds was built to help patients and families navigate this difficult journey with greater clarity. As part of Vaidam Health, CancerRounds will now be able to support a larger international patient community while continuing its focus on cancer care guidance,” said Sumit Wadhwa, Co-founder of CancerRounds. The acquisition also reflects a broader shift within medical value travel, where patients are no longer looking only for access to hospitals, but for specialty-led guidance that can help them understand treatment options, compare care pathways and manage the practical challenges of seeking treatment across borders. Last year, Vaidam Health acquired MediJourney, a healthcare facilitation technology platform incubated by Ferns N Petals, to strengthen its digital infrastructure, AI-based communication processes and multilingual patient onboarding capabilities.
