The concept of modern medical cities or special health care facilities as been in place for some time, but has gained renewed interest, particularly in rapidly developing economies. The concept of a medi city or health city defines a cluster of hospitals, a holistic healthcare centre; a large hospital sprawled across acres of land. Medi‐city can be a new township or a zone of a city, where medical facilities are provided releasing pressure from the main city or to promote medical tourism attracting new sources of economic growth.
Medi‐cities have been designed to be comprehensive in scope and incorporate advanced technologies and medical practices. The scale and scope of medical cities usually demands an advanced level of care, both in technology and approaches to create an attractive destination for care to ensure the high level of patient volumes required to support such a large setup.
