Current status of medical tourism in india, future trends and implications for stake holders

At present there is a fillip to the medical tourism industry in India with the Government of India coming forward with issue of Medical visas and their liberal issuing. This indicates a possible proliferation of many more medical tourism hospitals. However, a thing or two that require caution can’t be ignored like travelling on a medical tourism visa and not going for health care, but to have a marriage or coming in the guise of a medical tourist, but with some non-medical and law and order linked issues, that are likely to vitiate the health of the medical tourism sector. It appears that with increase in number of centres competitive prices and better quality services are on the cards.
