"Medical Tourism industry in India is at a poignant stage. It is estimated that approx. 6,000 to 7,000 patients (from developed countries) visit India each year for surgeries and this flow is expected to grow at a CAGR of 30-40% over the next 5 to 7 years. It is estimated that the total treatment costs of such patients would add up to an annual USD 125 - 140 million (not including spends on non-medical related expenses). Medical Tourism has caught the fancy of a myriad set of healthcare providers - from individual medical professionals such as dentists / plastic & cosmetic surgeons to large-sized corporate hospitals are all vying for this highly affording class of patients, "says Zubin Daruwalla, Industry Manager, Healthcare Practice, Frost & Sullivan India.
