Ishaan Dodhiwala, in a press communiqué issued today said, “India’s medical tourism sector, a burgeoning industry valued at $9 billion, possesses immense potential to emerge as a global leader. While our world-class healthcare infrastructure and reputation for affordable, high-quality treatments provide a strong foundation, strategic interventions are crucial to fully harness this opportunity.
To propel India to the forefront of medical tourism, we advocate for a comprehensive approach. The upcoming budget should prioritize targeted financial incentives to stimulate growth. Additionally, streamlining visa processes and enhancing flight connectivity through attracting international airlines and incentivizing them with reduced fees will significantly boost patient influx. A global campaign on the lines of ‘Incredible India’ focused on ‘Heal in India’ is imperative to cultivate a strong international brand image.Furthermore, organizing Indian Expos in key global markets will create platforms to showcase our medical capabilities. By fostering public-private partnerships and integrating alternative healthcare systems, we can elevate patient experiences and solidify India’s position as a holistic wellness destination.”
