2. REASONS FOR GROWING POPULARITY OF MEDICAL
TOURISM IN INDIA
Medical tourism, also known as health tourism, is the
practice of visiting another country to receive medical
treatment. People seeking medical treatment travel
abroad for various reasons including lack of medical
facilities in their country, expensive treatment, etc. More
and more people from abroad are now travelling to India
for getting the right treatment, and the growing popularity
of medical tourism could be attributed to the following:
3. Owing to the presence of Max healthcare hospitals and more
in India, people are given the best possible treatments. The
continuous growth and development of medical technologies
is the reason why people from Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, etc.
visit India for various medical reasons.
The reasons could vary from need for surgeries like knee
replacement or hip replacement surgery, or need for

4. 2. REDUCED COSTS
As compared to Western countries, the cost of medical
treatment in India is significantly lower. Also, owing to the
private sector that consists of clinics and hospitals with the
best-in-class facilities, technology, and of course,
experienced medical professionals, there is almost no
waiting time. Timely treatment is extremely important, and if
people seek the right doctor at the right time, many more
lives can be saved.
5. 3. RELAXED VISA RULES
The Indian government has taken many measures
to facilitate entry into the country for medical
purposes. For instance, the facility of e-visa for
select countries is a more convenient method for
visitors coming to India for short visits.
6. 4. OVERCOMING LANGUAGE BARRIERS
Many hospitals also have regional translators to facilitate
the flow communication between the patient and doctor.
5. FACILITATE STAY
Many private sector hospitals such as Max have tie-ups
with hotels, guest houses, and service apartments near
the hospital to facilitate the stay of their international
patients. The visitors can either do the booking
themselves or can let the hospital do it on their behalf.
7. There are many more ways in which the private sector
hospitals are doing their best in making the treatment,
recovery, travel, stay etc. of the international patients as
seamless as possible. So if you are looking for a
