Studies show that the medical tourism in India is expected to grow from $ 3 billion to $ 7 – 8 billion by 2020. The main reason for this sudden jump is due to the fact that the costs of procedures are about one – tenth the cost of similar procedures in the US. In India, Kerala is considered as the ideal hub for medical tourism as it is abundant in natural beauty and cultural heritage.  Being the only state in India, with cent percent literacy rate Kerala also boasts an index of advanced hospitals with world class facilities, renowned doctors that specialize in several major disciplines, trained medical staff and technicians who are well versed in the English language.
