Medical Tourism in India

"Medical Tourism - India is the favorable destrination in the world."

Medical tourism is a growing sector in India. India’s medical tourism sector is expected to experience an annual growth rate of 30%, making it a $2 billion industry by 2015. As medical treatment costs in the developed world balloon - with the United States leading the way - more and more Westerners are finding the prospect of international travel for medical care increasingly appealing. An estimated 150,000 of these travel to India for low-priced healthcare procedures every year.

Nowadays,  it seems like every country in the world promotes itself as a haven for medical tourism. The reality is that in most cases they offer sub-standard facilities and limited skills/qualifications.

India has tens of thousands of skilled physicians and nurse practitioners. Over the last two decades, the economic boom in India has led to the building of medical facilities & infrastructure that rival the very best that western medical care that the west has to offer. Many of the physicians that practice in these hospitals and clinics have returned (to India) from the U.S. and Europe, leaving behind successful practices.

While some small countries may be viable as alternatives for minor surgical procedures, India is the only mainstream option that offers a comprehensive solution for any and all medical needs, and does this with the highest levels of service, facilities, and professional skills. A complex transplant or bypass procedure can be achieved for a tiny fraction of the cost for the same procedure in the U.S.

This lower cost includes significantly longer post-operative care in the hospital itself. The costs are usually a lot lower than even the deductable most insurance companies levy on a patient.
From the moment that a client contacts us and tells us what their medical needs are, we become their guide, liason, and coordinator. We serve as a conduit of information between the client and the hospital/clinic and work with the client to determine the best facilities and staff to handle their particular medical needs.

We then handle all of the details that require contact with the providers. The patient will, of course, be able to speak to the hospitals, doctors, and other providers, but they need not worry about all of the mundane tasks which need to be performed prior to their departure.

Advantages of Medical Tourism in India :

India has been a tourist hot spot and has lured foreigners predominantly because of its mysticism, spirituality, exotic locales, and rich history and culture. But, as exceptional standards of medical treatment emerge, and there is a larger demand for low-priced, yet good quality health care, and an active involvement of the private sector, foreign patients have started perceiving the country as a perfect destination to have medical, surgical, and dental care treatments. With privatization of health care services (private sector controls about 80% of the health care market in India), enormous and massive growth of infrastructure, improved technological support and facilities, and increasing awareness regarding quality and international accreditations like JCI, India has surfaced as a strong contender in the Medical Tourism Market.

Furthermore, India is the home of the largest pharmaceutical industry in the world, which has a self sufficient drug production, and exports drugs to over 180 countries across the globe.

The strongest advantage in favor of India is its ability to provide international quality of medical care at the lowest rates, in comparison with any other part of Asia. In addition to saving costs, Health Tours to India, can save significant amount of time and the required surgical / medical care can be sought almost instantaneously on arrival.

Spa treatments, Yoga, Ayurveda and naturopathy have always enticed tourists to India. Throughout the country, there are countless health spas, relaxation and meditation centers that offer therapeutic healing of the body, mind and soul. These centers provide comfortable and luxurious accommodations and have picturesque locales as their backdrop. Holistic centers in Kerala, Goa, and Himachal are especially renowned. The comfort, calm, and reassurance of the treatments can perk up the body's well being by enhancing its own inherent curing abilities, and can promote a sense of tranquility, and peace.

Massages at these centers offer the perfect solution to combat the deleterious effects of accumulated stress and helps harmonize and bring peace to a troubled body, mind, and soul.
