Corporate hospitals’ ambitious plans of making India a medical tourism hub may hit a road block as the health minister has issued a warning on developing medical tourism at the cost of Indian patients. He advised corporate hospitals to be cautious while promoting medical tourism. The caution was issued by the minister after Gujarat’s Health Minister Ashok Bhatt and the Managing Director of Apollo Hospitals, Preetha Reddy upheld and praised the development of medical tourism in India. Bhatt attributed the opening of CBCC at Apollo Hospitals to medical tourism. The Gujarat government will draft a medical tourism policy, which will be declared soon.
