Latest Market Trends
In parallel, India is also seeing record growth in medical tourism, with more international patients coming to the country than ever before. This reaffirms India’s position as a global healthcare destination with patients returning to the country in large numbers post-pandemic for specialized healthcare services. The large inflow of international patients remains unabated over the years. As a result, the perception of the international patients has shifted from viewing India as a cost-effective alternate destination for healthcare services to a preferred healthcare destination known for its clinical quality, technology and healthcare outcomes. India is now on par with established medical tourism destinations, thanks to an increasing number of multi-specialty hospitals in India and an ever-growing number of highly skilled healthcare professionals.
One reason for this growth is the comparative availability of low-cost medical services in India compared to other developed healthcare markets and the comparable quality of services, which has made complex and elective procedures available to a much larger class of international patients, especially middle-income groups, by easing a large reduction in expenditure. The primary driver for patients from neighboring and developing countries to travel to India is the availability of inexpensive treatment which is of a good quality. The increasing inflow of patients, improving perceptions, and cost competitiveness have continued to drive India’s medical tourism sector.
Market Scope and Growth Factors
Governments have encouraged the growth of India’s medical tourism industry. The health-care delivery infrastructure is continuously improving. Recent budgets have aimed at easier medical visa regulations to increase medical tourism in India. This reflects the government’s long-term perspective on the growth of medical tourism as an important foreign exchange earner and employment generator, and India’s sustained competitiveness in healthcare services with respect to other countries. Institutional mechanisms for coordinated support, policy, direction, and promotion for medical tourism and wellness tourism are in place in addition to visa facilitation. Furthermore, centralized digital platforms to verify information about accredited hospitals, healthcare centers and specialty treatment facilities have been developed to help international patients make informed decisions and to improve transparency.
India’s health care system has improved considerably in the last decade, as many major hospital management groups have invested in hospital infrastructure improvements, high technology equipment, and offering more specialty health services. An increasing number of hospitals are accredited to national/international standards. This helps ensure that the hospital has quality, patient safety, infection control and clinical outcomes that are as good as global best practices. Advanced and skilled health professionals support the world-class hospital from within. The active rise in quality and infrastructure during the years has improved India’s image as a healthcare destination, from a source of cost-effective healthcare to offering world-class healthcare at an affordable price.
