“Healthcare professionals from countries like India are world-class, but they are often constrained by slow, fragmented, and opaque recruitment systems,” said Avinav Nigam, Co-Founder & CEO of TERN Group.
“We are building the infrastructure that makes global healthcare careers faster, fairer, and fully transparent. The GCC, and particularly the UAE, is a critical region for us as healthcare demand continues to accelerate.”
GCC Healthcare Demand Driving Growth
Healthcare demand in the GCC is surging, with the UAE alone projected to spend more than USD 50 billion on healthcare by 2029. TERN is already working with leading hospitals and regulators in the region to create a reliable talent pipeline, particularly focused on Indian nurses and care workers.
Beyond recruitment, TERN’s AI platform automates resume parsing, compliance checks, and candidate screening, while its human support team provides training, relocation, and cultural integration services.
By combining AI efficiency with human guidance, TERN is positioning itself as a key enabler of healthcare systems under mounting pressure to secure skilled talent.
