General Secretary Thomas Babu has emphasized the importance of government cooperation in establishing legislation and guidelines for the sector, with a focus on positioning Kerala as a premier medical tourism destination.

The Indian government has set a target to generate $13 billion in revenue from medical tourism by 2026. To achieve this goal, the central government has introduced the "Heal in India, Heal by India" programs. In this sector, medical tourism facilitators play a vital role by offering guidance and organizing essential services like travel, accommodation, and meals for international patients who come to Kerala for treatment and healthcare services. The Association of Medical Tourism Facilitators, also known as AMF, represents these professionals. .
