Dr. Kawaljit Kaur

Abstract :

 India is a recent entrant into medical tourism because of reduced costs, availability of latest medical technologies, and a growing compliance on international quality standards. Punjab Government would promote medical tourism in the state as this sector has a great potential to boost the state‘s economy. It is catering to thousands of NRIs and other foreigner patients every year because of their state of the art facilities in hospitals and cheaper medical treatments here as compared to countries like, US, UK and Canada. Medical tourism has not only ought hefty money for the doctors, but even hotel industry of the state has also received a great response from NRIs visiting to get treatment. Even the state government has come forward to develop medical tourism in the area. No doubt, the state government is working hard to promote the medical tourism but there is still much to be done.
