FAQ

Who is eligible for Professional Membership?

Doctors, nurses, hospital managers of all departments (quality, operations, HR, stores, admin), pharmacists, lab technicians, biomedical engineers, physiotherapists, and other allied-health professionals.

Who qualifies for Institutional Membership?

Hospitals of any bed capacity, medical colleges, nursing or paramedical colleges, diagnostic labs, pharmacies, medical-equipment vendors, linen suppliers, and other healthcare-related vendors or service providers.

Is there a separate Student Membership?

Yes. Undergraduate and postgraduate students (medicine, nursing, paramedical, public health, hospital management, etc.) may join free of charge and enjoy most Professional benefits, including course discounts and Olympiad entry.

What is the difference between Annual and Lifetime Membership?

Annual members renew each year; Lifetime members pay a one-time fee (10× annual rate), gain voting rights in IFHP elections, receive the “Preferred & Recommended” badge, and get priority seating at events.

How do I upgrade from Annual to Lifetime later?

Log in to your member dashboard, choose “Upgrade to Lifetime,” and pay only the balance after deducting what you’ve already paid for the current year.

Can an institution register multiple campuses under one membership?

Each campus or hospital location requires its own Institutional membership to receive an individual profile page, HIMS licence and benchmarking access.

What payment methods are accepted?

Credit/debit cards, UPI, net-banking, and offline bank transfer. Institutions may request an invoice and pay via NEFT/RTGS.

When does my membership become active?

Immediately after payment and document verification (usually within 24 h for professionals, 3 – 5 working days for institutions).

What documents are needed during sign-up?

Professionals: Govt-issued ID + professional licence/registration and Personal Details.
Institutions: Registration certificate, GST or equivalent, and proof of ownership/authorisation and Institutional Details.
