In the realm of rejuvenation, Goa has carved a niche for itself as a premier medical tourism hub in the global arena. This reputation was cemented during the tumultuous era of COVID-19, when Goa emerged as a beacon of solace, welcoming those fortunate enough to journey to its shores when all other avenues were closed. Indeed, Goa's resilience in adversity is attributed to its divine blessings, rendering it impervious to calamity. Here, amidst the tranquil embrace of Goa's shores, one finds the physical healing sought in medical tourism and solace for the soul. Goa offers a sanctuary where one can nurture both body and spirit, reaffirming its status as a sanctuary blessed by the divine.
I have recently penned a narrative detailing the evolution of Goa's foremost medical institution, the Goa Medical College and Hospitals. Established in 1691 under the dominion of Portuguese rulers who held sway over Goa for four and a half centuries, this institution stood as a singular beacon of healthcare during their reign. Following independence, it continued to serve the populace, albeit amidst shifting societal needs.
As lifestyles evolved, so too did the demand for sophisticated medical care. This prompted the emergence of several private entities eager to fulfill the growing need for premium healthcare services within the state. Among these pioneers was Manipal Hospitals, which made its foray into Goa in 1994, introducing advanced medical facilities previously unavailable in the region.
