Medical Tourism

Travelling across the international borders for obtaining medical services is a growing global phenomenon.

There are multiple reasons for this trend, now widely known as ‘Medical Tourism’. The first and foremost of the reasons is ofcourse the cost. When people see a huge difference in the cost of required medical services, without any variance in the quality of the same, they don’t mind travelling a long distance.

And when it comes to medical tourism, India is emerging as one the most preferred destinations. The reasons are simple – with its world class health facilities and advancements in medical science and technology India offers assuring medical services. Add to that the typical Indian human touch, coupled with significantly lower costs.

Studies show that patients mainly travel for specialised surgeries such as joint replacement (knee/hip), cardiac surgery, dental surgery, and cosmetic surgeries in India.
