Abstract

The objective of the study was to document the features of the medical tourism sector in the state and analyse its possible implications on domestic healthcare in Jaipur, Rajasthan. In the present study, in-depth interviews were conducted with the key stakeholders in the state. The major finding that emerged from the study was that although there will be an improvement in the overall quality and availability of advanced healthcare services, accessibility to the services will be affected particularly for poorer sections due to increased cost of care. Policymakers believed the gradual growth of the private sector in healthcare and the decline of the public health sector will lead to the exclusion of a section of the domestic population from access to quality healthcare.
