In view of the falling rupee against foreign currencies, the number of medical tourists to India has jumped by 40 per cent in the past six months, according to a study by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM). "Fall of rupee versus dollar has proved to be advantageous to the patients from Middle East, Africa and SAARC countries to the extent of 35 to 45 per cent on complex surgeries," D S Rawat, Secretary General, ASSOCHAM, said.
