New Delhi: The Centre is planning to launch a wellness and medical tourism policy on International Yoga Day on June 21 to tap the huge potential of the sector, said.
The minister said the country can become a hub of wellness and medical tourism and his ministry is working in that direction.
"We are planning to launch a full-fledged policy on wellness and medical tourism on June 21," Sharma told a press conference here.
He said a web portal would also be launched which will have the names of the institutions and the services they offer and the rates they charge to make the system transparent.
The minister noted that institutions would be able to provide medical services to the foreigners only after they are accredited with the government.
"No foreigner who has come to India for medical tourism should feel that they have been cheated in anyway," Sharma said.
