Add the name of the institution you went to to your resume and add "dropped out due to health reasons" in tiny (but still readable) font underneath. This will get you past most automated HR filters without you having to be dishonest. Since you already have some experience, I do not think anyone will bring up your education in an actual interview unless you bring it up.

Context - I'm from India, and works at big tech. I do have a degree, but no employer has every asked to see it. They just want to know that I _went_ to a college, doesn't matter if I graduated or not.

Your own one-person software-as-a-service business or relevant side projects. Hard to argue that you are not qualified when you can point them to github/website and say "I made this".
