Lilavati Hospital To Open First Overseas Centre In Kazakhstan To Boost Medical Tourism Push · freepressjournal.in

A famous hospital in Mumbai, India, called Lilavati Hospital, wants to help sick people from other countries.

It is planning to open its very first clinic outside India, in a country called Kazakhstan, this September.

At this new clinic, patients can meet doctors, get second opinions, and plan their treatment.

The doctors there will help with problems like heart disease, brain issues, stomach problems, and even fertility treatments.

If a patient needs a big surgery, they will be sent to the main hospital in Mumbai to get it done.

Many people from other countries already travel to India for medical care.

In 2025, more than five lakh people came to India just for medical treatment, which was about 5.5 percent of all foreign tourists.

Most of these patients came from Bangladesh, while others came from places like Iraq, Uzbekistan, and Somalia.

The hospital's chief says the Kazakhstan clinic is only the beginning, with plans to expand into other countries in Central Asia.
