Healthcare has emerged as one of the biggest sectors in India. It includes diverse fields- hospitals, medical devices, clinical research, telemedicine, medical tourism, and health insurance. So far, the sector has been growing with increased investments from the public as well as private organizations with reinforced health coverage. India has a public and private health care division; the former essentially provides base-level care in rural centers, whereas the latter encompasses all levels of care, secondary and tertiary in urban centers.

This affordability has led to a rise in medical tourism, and India is now one of the fast-emerging major destinations for research and development activities for international players.
