Since the government is actively participating in the expansion of the medical tourism industry, there is much investment in the facilities and resources needed for medical tourists. This including the production of an estimated 20, 000 - 30,000 doctors and nurses each year. At an approximate growth of 30% each year, studies conducted by government and private sectors in India estimate that medical tourism could bring between $1 billion and $2 billion US into India by 2012.

With all this investment, as well as the growing nature of this competitive market, patients from western countries are usually offered high quality service packages at a fraction of the treatment cost in the home country.
