Medical Tourism Sector in India

Millions of patients from abroad visit India every year to avail the best medical facilities. The most popular of procedures include cosmetic, cardiac orthopaedic and organ transplant surgery. There is absolutely no doubt that the medical tourism industry in India is growing at an unprecedented rate currently. During the financial year 2015-2016, ophthalmology attracted the maximum number of patients followed closely by cardiology and neurology. A lion’s share credit for this growth in medical tourism in India goes to the government which has been extremely instrumental in the promotion of this sector. The government has improved both the infrastructure as well as the immigration processes including the ease in which medical and medical attendant visa is made available. The liberalization of trade has created a long list of opportunities and challenges in a developing country like India, which provides efficient and quality healthcare services to the world.

The proficient understanding of the above-mentioned facts add to the increasing influx of tourists that aim for medical tourism in Kerala and one of the very first steps that need to be implemented is the use of medical disposables such as probe covers into the general system of health care.
