Why India
Most of our clients happen to choose India as their preferred destination to meet their healthcare requirements because of wide choice of Accredited Hospitals having world class facilities supported by highly skilled & trained Medical Professionals. Obviously India also enjoys its status as preferred destination due to most Affordable Healthcare costs & wide choice of attractive tourism destinations.
Clearly, there are economic advantages for choosing English-speaking India for certain procedures. For example, a heart bypass procedure costs roughly $140,000 without any insurance in the US. The same procedure, however, costs only around $7,000 or Rs 3 lakhs at one of India’s leading surgery centers. Procedures such as hip and knee replacement, face lift, and gastric bypass are far more affordable in India, including the cost of travel and accommodation, compared to the US. Moreover, these cosmetic procedures are not covered by most insurance providers in Western countries. India has many top-notch centers for open-heart surgery and pediatric heart surgeries which are equipped with the latest equipment that are on par with these Western countries. India is also acutely aware of the quality perceptions of its visitors; many Indian hospitals that cater to foreign tourists meet the requirements of US health standards like Food and Drug Administration and Joint Commission Accreditation for hospitals, hoping to fight this notion.
India is also home to a number of alternative medicine techniques such as Ayurveda, Sidha, Unani, Yoga, Acupuncture and Homeopathy which are very popular among foreigners. Such treatment opportunities give India the edge over its competitors like Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, and UAE.
Bangalore, Tamil Nadu, and Delhi are top destinations for foreign visitors. Based on the government’s statistics of foreign tourists for 2010, more than 55 percent of visitors went to medical centers in these three states alone. Quality hotels, added tourism opportunities, and high-quality hospital care are the biggest reasons for this trend.
With ever-improving infrastructure and a massive pool of health experts, India is fast emerging as a most favorite destination to obtain Quality & Affordable Healthcare. India has become destination of choice due to
