India Health Care Tourism (MVT Facilitators directory)

What India Health Care Tourism (MVT Facilitators directory) does

The India Healthcare Tourism Portal is a government-owned digital facilitation platform operated by the Services Export Promotion Council (SEPC) under India's Ministry of Commerce & Industry. It functions as a two-sided marketplace connecting international and domestic patients with 500+ registered Indian hospitals, of which 302 hold NABH accreditation and 4 hold JCI accreditation, covering 1,586+ medical treatments and 150+ specialties. The platform also routes patients through Indian MVT Facilitators and Overseas MVT Facilitators and is integrated with the Ministry of External Affairs (Indian Missions Abroad), Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, NABH, JCI, and the Quality Council of India.

The underlying technology stack combines a hospital and treatment search portal, a patient case management system for uploading medical reports and obtaining expert opinions, AI-powered patient-to-hospital matching claiming 95% accuracy, and multilingual assistance for 90+ source countries. The platform is complemented by an SEPC Command Centre for patient handholding, grievance monitoring, RBSMs, BSMs, and analytics, plus a broader Patient Support Ecosystem covering visa/travel coordination, interpreters, hotels, recovery stays, diagnostics, insurance/payments/escrow, and AYUSH/wellness services. There is no API, SDK, or MCP integration exposed externally.

The business model is freemium and structurally non-commercial: both patient and hospital registration are free, and the platform does not charge transaction fees on treatment value. There are no disclosed revenue figures, no funding rounds, and no headcount data, consistent with its status as a government export-promotion initiative rather than a venture-backed commercial business. Its economic value is in policy outcomes (inbound medical tourism, foreign exchange earnings, healthcare services exports) rather than direct monetization.
