India’s medical tourism industry is set to reach USD 18 billion by 2027, growing at a 19% CAGR. The country attracts international patients with world-class yet cost-effective healthcare, alongside traditional therapies like Ayurveda and Yoga. Foreign Tourist Arrivals for medical purposes have rebounded post-COVID, with Bangladesh, Iraq, and Yemen leading the influx. Competitive pricing—like heart bypass surgery at USD 5,000 versus USD 144,000 in the US—makes India a preferred destination, supported by advanced healthcare infrastructure and holistic treatment options.
