ROLE OF MEDICAL TOURISM IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF TAMILNADU: AN OVERVIEW

India is a major player in the global travel industry,
especially medical tourism. It has a lot of surgical experience, wellness treatments and low expenses, thanks to outstanding private healthcare facilities and government programs such as "health care visa." Tamil Nadu's economy is quickly industrializing, thanks to sectors such as textiles and chemicals, and it government's emphasis on infrastructure helped it come in third place nationally in 2011. Tamil Nadu is a popular place for medical tourists because it is affordable, has no waiting lists,
offers excellent personalized care, and combines advanced and traditional medicine. The state has a low inequality- adjusted HDI because of problems with malnutrition and sanitation, but it has great health indicators, such as a longer life expectancy and a much lower IMR and MMR, thanks to its strong health system. Tamil Nadu is a good example of how to quickly improve health, but Kerala is still the
best place for human development overall. It has consistently led in core mortality indicators because it has invested in universal female literacy.
