However, the medical community has opposed the decision on the ground that this will force doctors to differentiate patients based on religion and nationality, which is a violation of Medical Council of India (MCI) Act.

Moreover, the move is said to hurt leading private hospitals that get a significant part of their revenue from organ transplantation of foreigner patients.

Medical industry of India is around $3 billion and is growing with the rate of 20% per year.
