To expand its travel and tourism options, India's state railway, Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), has begun offering clients online medical tourism packages.

IRCTC aims to offer a comprehensive medical travel experience that includes additional components including travel and lodging reservations, road transfers, and optional wellness packages after the treatment.

In a test project, the railway has joined an online provider of medical technology services. The business will offer back-end services to clients looking for different medical and wellness packages.

IRCTC offers affordable medical care and wellness packages through a network of clinics, nursing homes, and diagnostic facilities that are coordinated with its technical partner.

Potential medical tourists can fill out a brief inquiry form on the portal website, http://www.irctctourism.com/MedicalTourism, where it asks for information about their medical needs. The IRCTC team will call the client after the inquiry is produced to discuss the available treatments.
The business is advertising the bundles through its network of offices across India.
