Chennai is the epicentre of India's medical tourism industry, that attracts patients with its top-of-the-range medical technology, cheap healthcare, and English-speaking Chennai doctors.

Although Chennai lacks the image of orderliness and cleanliness of some of Asia's other medical tourism hubs, its standard of care and prices are virtually unbeatable in any region of the world.

In Chennai, healthcare is provided by both government-run as well as private hospitals. Chennai attracts about 45 % of health tourists from abroad and 30 to 40 % of domestic health tourists.
