Mumbai, Maharashtra, 29th of January, 2026 : The medical tourism sector expects the Union Budget 2026–27 to respond to the growing global demand for India’s ‘Heal in India’ initiative, as international patients increasingly seek affordable, high quality and outcome driven healthcare.
We expect the government to allocate a specific budget to promote ‘Heal in India’ initiative in the priority markets like Africa, middle east, SAARC and other emerging markets to promote medical tourism to India. Besides we expect specific measures to ease medical visa processes, support internationally accredited hospitals, and expand quality healthcare facilities into Tier II and Tier III cities.
As demand for complex procedures and treatments such as cardiology, oncology, orthopaedics and fertility care continues to rise, expectations also include policies that attract foreign capital and strategic partnerships, along with rationalisation of import duties on advanced medical equipment and incentives for digital health and AI enabled diagnostics.
Overall, the sector expects the Union Budget 2026–27 to scale the Heal in India initiative into a globally competitive medical value travel framework by combining affordability, clinical excellence and sustained global investment.”
