bears a potential to become a hub for promoting medical tourism keeping in mind the recent
changes that have been introduced by the government, healthcare facilities that meet
international standards and the well qualified doctors that are willing to serve here.
The country has evolved in terms of mindsets pertaining to sensitive issues like reproductive
matters and child birth. Women have started prioritising their career and professional growth
over bearing children. As a result, number of children per family have reduced from around
six to three per family. Women wish to plan their family beyond the age of thirty reducing
their probability of natural birth. There an inverse relationship of success of conception and
child birth with maternal age and beyond the age of forty, the chances stand bleak. Couples
seeking infertility treatment are much aware of the possibilities that are available along with
their success rates and financial restraints.

labour, basic inventory like Tax laws are pretty relaxed and earnings as well as savings are
pretty high. The country is a cosmopolitan nation accommodating people from all over the
world without any discrimination. The outlook for treating as well as receiving treatment
from expatriates is pretty outgoing. Ethical issues are stringent to make sure there are no
malpractices followed. Regulations have been so drafted to ensure welfare of the patients
and overcharging can be prevented.
