- Against an estimated need of 1.6 million M.B.B.S. doctors India has currently only about 40% i.e. 6,75,000 thus leaving a wide gap in supply & demand. As against this only abort 31,000 doctors every year are joining the streams. Thus the demand for qualified medical professionals is huge.
- Added to the above demand is a rapidly growing demand for quality medical professionals for corporate private hospitals fast emerging as India develops itself as a hub of medical tourism. More and more tourists visiting India are relying on availing treatment for efficient & low cost medical care being offered by Indian corporate hospitals. For non emergency health problems, the time for recuperating & convalescing is pleasurably spent in light & distressing pursuits and this 'medical tourism' is rapidly raising India on the world healthcare map

Remuneration
An M.B.B.S. doctor initially is posted as an intern getting about Rs. 4 l.p.a. initially as a stipend, and with experience and specialization grows fast. Most interns pursue a specialization course of P.G. study. With experience and specialization there is a continuous raise in earnings and a senior Medical practitioner fetches 10 to 15 times of the above starting stipends, the usual range being Rs. 12 l.p.a. to Rs. 50 l.p.a. Medical experts are amongst the highest earning and most respected sections of the society especially in India. Sky is the limit for growth
