Medical tourism worldwide and in India is on rise. Figures of medical tourist arrivals in India for 2014, 2015 and 2016 suggest of a significant growth.

India has a huge cost and expertise advantage which if leveraged through proper publicity can make it one of the leading medical tourist destinations in the days to come.
