    destination. Indian doctors and healthcare
    professionals are specialized in providing
    budgeted bypass surgeries and other high-end
    medical processes.
  • Although there is a list of primary catalysts
    that further contributes to the exponential
    growth of India as the best country for medical
    tourism all over the globe, however, the
    pertinent changes and the frequent amendments by
    the government of India have bought a substantive
    increase in the demand for medical facilities by
    medical tourists generally, westerners in medical
    tourism in India. As an addition, to the
    augmented efforts, the Ministry of Tourism is
    also a driving force for the rapid growth of this
    sector in the long-run thus, making it a
    lucrative medical tourism destination all over
    the world.

On the other hand, the constant support of the
Ministry to promote medical tourism among Indian
diaspora and medical tourists through embassies
and consulates is also one of the primary reasons
that have driven myriad tourists to flock to
India to access better healthcare facilities.

accessing healthcare aids in the USA or the UK.
Moreover, establishments such as the Asian Heart
Institute is a prime destination for cardiac
bypass surgeries with the overall cost, which is

    organized that further carves ways to accesses
    significant and immediate medical attention

    facilitator. Apart from that, the easy
    availability of visas for medical purposes
    further draws the attention of medical tourists
    to visit India and are also such of the
    additional benefits of medical tourism in India.
    Furthermore, medical tourism in India comprises
    of medical treatments in India for several health
    ailments amounts nearly one-tenth as compared to
    the cost in America and even Thailand, one of the
    leading medical tourism destinations all over the
    globe. Moreover, the organized and the mitigation
    of unwanted chaos in addressing patients often

  • Currently, Medical Tourism in India caters to the
    demand for an anticipated 2 billion industry of
    overseas patients, often making it the best
    country for medical tourism. Approximately
    100,000 patients choose India as their medical
    destination for the effective prognosis and
    treatment in India of the disease. According to
    Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of
    India (ASSOCHAM), in 2015, Indian saw nearly 3.2
    million medical tourists. Moreover, currently,

  • The number of visits by medical tourists in
    Afghanistan fell from 61,231 in 2016 to 55,681 in
    2017, which was the apparent result of the
    massive increase in Goods and Service Tax (GST).
    On the other hand, the unstable political system
    and poor baseline health indices are some of the
    prominent shortcomings in the Afghanistan medical
    sector. On the contrary, the lack of skilled and
    competent doctors in Bangladesh and
    unavailability of advanced medical equipment are
    some of the additional constraints which bar
    medical tourist from choosing Bangladesh as their
    medical tourism destination.

    medical and service equipment handled by highly
    trained doctors have explicitly led to the
    development of medical tourism in cities like
    Chennai and Noida, making it a premier medical
    tourism facilitator. Apart from that, constant
    efforts by the medical executives in minimizing
    the language gap have lowered the language
    constraints of the medical tourist in accessing
    better medical facilities helps in making India
    the best country for medical tourism.
    Additionally, a majority of Indian hospital and
    healthcare societies are emphasizing on bringing
    in translators for non-English speaking
    foreigners for developing an adept two-way
    communication process.
