Medical tourism has already spotlighted India as a medical service Hub in south Asia with the effect of which Indian service providers are drifting to more  professional empathetic outlook. Notwithstanding the substantial progress that India has made in health since independence, the country still faces a serious health challenge. The root causes of this challenge are inadequate human resource capacity and poor support systems in  health.
