New Delhi/ Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh) [India], January 22: With the objective of promoting physical fitness and mental well-being among healthcare professionals, the Healthcare Premier League (HPL) Season 3 is set to begin on 25 January 2026.
The inauguration ceremony will take place from 10:00 AM onwards at TNM Cricket Ground, Rajnagar Extension, Ghaziabad. The tournament will feature 8 teams and a total of 30 matches, with participation from doctors and paramedical staff representing 10 different hospitals.
Healthcare professionals often work in a significantly more demanding and stressful environment compared to conventional workplaces. Long working hours, 24x7 emergency duties, and constant work pressure through mobile connectivity leave little time for doctors and paramedical teams to focus on their own health. Over time, this affects not only physical fitness but also mental well-being.
Keeping this challenge in mind, the Healthcare Premier League was conceptualized as a dedicated sporting platform to encourage fitness, teamwork, and a stress-free lifestyle among medical professionals.
The league has been designed exclusively for healthcare professionals, with matches scheduled every Sunday, ensuring that hospital services and patient care are not affected. Through competitive sport and team engagement, HPL aims to inspire participants to stay active, energized, and mentally refreshed--while strengthening unity and collaboration within the healthcare community.
