HealthTourism poised to double by 2015

2011 Report forecasts Indian medical tourism to double by 2015

A new report from research firm Technopak Advisors argues that the revenue from medical tourism to India is set to grow 250 % between 2010 and 2015 from Rs 4,500 crore to Rs 16,000 crore. In these five years, the number of international patients visiting Indian hospitals will double.
Although there may be arguments on how it estimates 600,000 medical travellers in 2010, when 159,000 is the figure that the Indian government reported recently, the analysis within the report is useful.
