Medical tourism to flourish

Medical tourism in India by international travellers is expected to grow to USD13.3 bn by 2022, according to a report published by KPMG India and Google.

About 1.5 million medical tourists are expected to visit the country in 2022. The medical tourism market in India has grown rapidly over the past decade with India becoming one of the largest global medical tourism hubs.

Growth has been driven by a rise in international awareness of India’s professional base, coupled with investment into healthcare infrastructure and privately funded healthcare.
