What is medical tourism?
To put it in a simple way, medical tourism is the practice of traveling across international borders to obtain medical and health care while at the same time enjoying a recuperative vacation.
Why should I visit India for a medical procedure?
India has become a global health destination because of the lower cost in medical procedures, availability of the lastest medical technologies, low wait time for critical treatments as well as the fact that foreigners are less likely to face a language barrier in India.
What are the treatments that tourists usually seek India?
Medical tourists come to India for various treatments, but the primary medical treatments provided in India are cardiac bypass surgery, orthopedic surgery, organ transplant, bone-marrow transplant, eye surgery, cosmetic surgery, dental care, and alternative medicine at just a fraction of the cost they would spend in their own countries.
Do these low cost mean a drop in quality and standard of the medical treatment offered?
Not at all, low cost doesn’t mean a compromise with the quality of the treatment offered. The low cost yet high quality medical and health services are possible due do the comparatively less labour and infrastructural set up cost. India has several private hospitals with world class amenities that have met rigorous international standards.
