The constant growth in the globalization of health has led to the rise of medical tourism. International trade in health services has also enhanced medical tourism. While most people prefer to treat their conditions closer to home, certain parameters might often become obstacles while seeking medical treatment. In some cases, certain specialists or state-of-the-art treatments are not available at a convenient location. Sometimes, the patient may be subject to a long waiting list. 
The low cost of treatment is the leading factor encouraging many tourists to visit India to seek medical help. While other countries have elaborate processes to obtain a visa, India is constantly working towards making the process more streamlined and efficient, allowing more foreign medical tourists to enter the country. India has over 500+ accredited healthcare providers.
 Even though India is a developing country, it provides immediate service and cares to patients. The country also provides world-class and standardized medical services and care with the help of the latest technology. During the recovery period, patients can turn to a multitude of therapies like  Ayurveda, Naturopathy, and Yoga. Another major factor that makes India a desirable medical tourism destination is the fact that it has English-speaking doctors, reducing the language barrier for foreign tourists.
