But, the trend of people travelling from developed countries to developing countries to obtain medical treatment has been an emerging phenomenon. Asian countries are the largest recipients of medical tourists from developed countries. India is also one of the preferred destinations for medical tourism. Hence, this paper aims to investigate the pertaining themes related to medical tourism in India. As a result, six pertaining themes could be reached using the secondary data obtained from previous studies. The study would help healthcare providers and policymakers to create a globally benchmarked healthcare ecosystem and devise corrective strategies for promoting medical tourism in India.
