Mumbai: The Maharashtra government is
planning to launch a website on medical tourism in the state and provide
necessary information about treatments and costs to foreign patients.
The website, which is
expected to serve as a single window for information, is likely to be functional
in a month’s time, said a statement issued by state health minister Dr Deepak
Sawant on Saturday.
The portal will provide
details of various services related to medical tourism as well as other
important information, like the administrative procedures to be followed for
procuring visa and the documents required.
The representatives from
private and charitable hospitals were earlier invited by the health department
for a discussion regarding the portal, said the statement.
Sawant said the aim of the
portal is to give a realistic picture to patients.
