d. All of the above

ANSWER: All of the above
 
  • Medical Value Tourism (MVT) is a broad field and includes Ayurveda, surgeries, super-speciality treatments and recuperation.
  • India is considered a famous destination for MVT.
  • In India, MVT is popular because there are a number of choices available at international standards without any waiting period in comparison to U.S or U.K where patient has to wait it out.
  • There is a shift in this trend with patients coming in from the Middle Eastern, SAARC and ASEAN countries. The specialities which are in demand for MVT include cardiology, orthopaedics (hip and knee replacement surgeries) and nephrology where savings for in-bound patients could range from 30 to 70 per cent.
