India

The constant growth in the globalisation of health has led to the rise of medical tourism. International trade in health services has also enhanced medical tourism. While most people prefer to treat their conditions closer to home, certain parameters might often become obstacles while seeking medical treatment. In some cases, certain specialists or state of the art treatments are not available at a convenient location. Sometimes, the patient may be subject to a long waiting list.

Low cost of treatment is the leading factor encouraging many tourists to visit the country to seek medical help. While other countries have elaborate processes to obtain a visa, India is constantly working towards making the process more streamlined and efficient, allowing more foreign medical tourists to enter the country. India has over 500+ accredited healthcare providers.
