Medical and Wellness Tourism — Prelims Strategy

Prelims Strategy

For Prelims, focus on factual recall: key government initiatives (Heal in India, National Board), specific visa categories (Medical Visa, e-Medical Visa), major contributing states and their specializations, and the distinction between medical and wellness tourism.

Remember the full form and components of AYUSH. Pay attention to recent data on market size, growth projections, and patient inflows (with sources). Questions often test understanding of the objectives of various schemes and the roles of different ministries (Tourism, Health, AYUSH).

Cross-reference with Digital Health Initiatives for telemedicine aspects.
