The Indian healthcare sector has become one of India’s largest sectors, both in terms of revenue and employment. It has experienced rapid change in recent years and has become significantly more visible over the last decade, with a renewed focus from the government and growing market demand for healthcare services and products.As a result of this, India’s Medical Tourism sector has also rapidly increased over the past decade. Medical Tourism is the act of leaving one’s home country to visit another country for a medical treatment that is either more expensive or not offered in their home country.The cost of living in India is significantly less than that of the United States, allowing for cheaper medical treatments and health services. This, alongside highly trained professionals, evolving treatment options, short wait times, and convenient visa applications makes India a leader for medical tourism from Americans.
