Naturopathy, yoga, Ayurveda and many such health treatments are unique to India. This is our strength, and obviously we should play by it. These treatments combined with tourism strategy will enable medical tourism to flourish in India.
Ajay Ziz  |  Supported idea  "Yoga and Spa centers"  |  2 years ago
