Heal in India is an initiative of the Indian Government aimed at promoting medical tourism in the country. This initiative is being led by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the Ministry of Ayush. The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC) and Services Export Promotion Council (SEPC) have been working in collaboration with the Ministries to develop a ‘One Step’ Heal in India portal for the promotion of Medical Value Travel.

MoU between Ministry of Ayush and India Tourism Development Corporation

The Ministry of Ayush signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with India Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC), Ministry of Tourism to work together for the promotion of Medical Value Travel in Ayurveda and other traditional systems of medicine. This partnership will help in promoting traditional Indian systems of medicine and therapies and position India as a global leader in the field of medical tourism.

Champion Service Sector Scheme for Medical Value Travel

The Ministry of Ayush developed a Central Sector Scheme called the Champion Service Sector Scheme for Medical Value Travel.

This will help in the development of the infrastructure required for the promotion of Medical Value Travel in India.
