Healthcare in Mumbai
Healthcare is one of Mumbai's largest industries and is growing site of medical tourism. Hospitals in Mumbai are either private or public although expats will only want to receive care at private facilities.
Public hospitals and clinics vary widely but are not consistently rated at international standards. Private clinics are excellent, many are parts of international business groups or are linked to overseas Universities, such as Harvard Medical School at Wockard.

Pharmacies, many of which operate 24 hours, are numerous and sell most over-the-counter drugs. Many prescription medications are available without prescription.
Mumbai has become a popular medical tourism destination because top quality operations can be done cheaply. Despite the relatively cheap price of medical care, it is still important to have medical insurance as an expat.
