Health Tourism in india






Health tourism is a concept where a patient travels to another country for medical treatment in order to reduce costs, or get treatment faster or even to have better medical facilities. Most patients from countries like USA and UK travel to developing countries like India for treatment because India offers options for you less expensive cost of treatment, offers a good holiday, there is no waiting lists or queues to stand in, the doctors are comparable to anyone in the world and finally, language does not pose a problem because most people speak English.
Why would someone travel to India and not in Thailand?
Although the cost difference between treatment in India and Thailand is not much, India offers what you call a language advantage - a patient would surely prefer a country where English is widely spoken. In addition, we believe that the facilities in India are more suited for International patients.
India is also working hard to increase its infrastructure to better meet the needs of patients coming to India for treatments such as heart peeled, knee replacement, other orthopedic treatments, cosmetic surgery, eye care, the dental or other treatment for this question. This is one of the main areas in which India intends to explore in the coming years.
How can you trust Indian doctors?
Well, many highly qualified doctors have had some form of training abroad, especially in the U.S. and UK. Indian doctors and surgeons are known for their skill and research throughout the world.
India has over 150000 medical tourists each year and is increasing at a rapid pace. Some recent programs recently on BBC and CNBC have reinstated the fact that medical tourism is a good idea if - you want to save costs, you need the treatment to be done on time and convenience, you need a high quality budget incorporated.
