P. Abdul Hameed, MLA of Vallikkunnu constituency, has appealed to the Union government to include Calicut International Airport, Karipur, in the proposed Heal-in-India scheme that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to launch on August 15.
Heal-in-India and Heal-by-India are two ambitious projects being launched to promote medical tourism as part of the 75 th year of India’s Independence. When Heal-by-India will focus on sending doctors abroad to perform medical procedures, Heal-in-India will boost the country’s medical tourism.
“Thousands of people from abroad have been visiting Malabar for treatment, especially in centres like Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala, Tulah Clinical Wellness Resort, Meitra Hospital, KIMS Alshifa Hospital, Moulana Hospital, and several others. Malabar is the hub of Kerala’s medical tourism. Calicut International Airport should be included among the airports designated for pushing the Heal-in-India scheme,” Mr. Hameed said.
