3. A promising year for the Indian medical tourism industry.

2019 had been a promising year for the Indian medical tourism industry. The revolutionary point has arrived where the world is opting for India to get healthcare services. Medical Tourism agencies are doing well in the country.
Executive Chairman of Marlin Medical Assistance Pvt. Ltd. on Friday has been awarded as India’s Young CEO of the year in Medical Tourism. The prestigious award was presented to him at the Global Healthcare & Medical Tourism Conclave, Awards & Expo. Held at the ITC Maratha, Sahar Road, and Mumbai.
The awards ceremony was held under the theme: “Evolution – Advancement of healthcare & medical tourism” along with the panel discussion on the sidelines of the ceremony where Dr. Mohammad Afzal, addressed the topic “Facing challenges to maintain sustainable healthcare & medical tourism in the current scenario globally”.

He addressed the audience about the standards established for medical tourists in the country, saying, “I have had a collaboration with all the Major state-of-the-art hospitals to provide an excellent service to foreign patients to promote medical tourism.”

“I hope that we can promote India as a Wellness Tourism destination because India has an antiquated history of Ayurveda. And many diseases like Cerebral Palsy and Autism find the cure in Ayurveda” he added.

Dr. Mohammad Afzal Siddiqui explained that India stands to gain immensely from medical tourism and said India could outshine first-world countries in providing facilitation to medical tourists and bring India to the summit of the world.

“It is, indeed, a very booming area. An area that can bring a lot of resources to India but it is unfortunate that we lack the motivation factor in getting quality standards accreditation from NABH and therefore unable to prove our authenticity to the world,” he said.
