Telangana is actively pursuing a strategy to establish itself as a leading global hub for medical and wellness tourism. Chief Secretary Sanjay Jaju has mandated the formulation of a comprehensive action plan as part of the state's tourism policy for 2025-2030.

Further directives include enhancing organ transplantation procedures with transparency and coordinating inter-departmental efforts. The goal is to position Telangana as an international center for medical and wellness tourism, with priority projects and investment proposals to be finalized before the Telangana Global Summit.
