Apollo Hospitals did over 4 million preventive health check-ups in 2025, and its Joint Managing Director Sangita Reddy says medical tourism could rise exponentially once global insurers cover foreign patients treated in India. She says Apollo has asked the government to lead a delegation to insurers. Industry estimates put India's medical tourism market around $8.7 billion in 2025, projected at USD 16.2 billion by 2030.
