In 2026, international patients aren’t just flying in for surgery; they’re booking AI-assisted consultations, digital visas, and recovery stays in cities like Jaipur, Amritsar, and Lucknow. That’s right; medical travel is now a seamless, tech-enabled experience. Hospitals in tier-2 towns are catching up fast, offering accredited care without the metro chaos. Telemedicine lets patients talk to doctors before booking flights. And with NABH-certified facilities becoming the norm, trust is rising. This isn’t just healthcare; it’s a full-service patient journey. If you’re planning medical travel, the new India you’ll find in 2026 is faster, clearer, and surprisingly local.
