| So what is it that makes India
one of the hottest destinations for medical tourism?
Well, we have a number of factors going for us.
Here is a look at some of the key points: |
| |
| 1. |
India has among the largest
pools of medical talent available in the
world. |
| 2. |
India produces nearly 30,000
trained medical professionals every year
which includes doctors, nurses and administrative
staff. |
| 3. |
English being the primary
language of education, most of our medical
professionals are fluent in the universal
language. |
| 4. |
Major surgeries and other
medical procedures in India cost between
1/5th and 1/10th of the cost anywhere in
the world. As an example, a cardiac surgery
that typically costs US$ 30,000 would cost
only US$ 6,000 in India. (Also see
Treatment Cost Comparisons) |
| 5. |
Most healthcare majors in
the country have acquired or are acquiring
accreditation for their hospitals and healthcare
centers that allows for global insurance
companies to cover patients that come to
India. |
| 6. |
Cardiac surgery in India
is the most affordable in the world, including
countries like Singapore and Thailand in
the competing South Asian region. |
| 7. |
The sheer size of the Indian
market means that most new medical equipment
companies prefer to launch their new products
in India, giving us a unique cutting edge. |
| 8. |
India's rich spiritual and
cultural heritage, coupled with relaxation,
recuperation and rejuvenation therapies
like Yoga, Ayurveda and Naturopathy. |
| 9. |
The most exotic and thrilling
leisure and tourism spots available anywhere
in the world - the irresistible potential
to combine the best of both worlds - medicine
and leisure. |
