Why? Should I Consider Medical Tourism?

Medical tourism to India is very popular nowadays because of the huge savings that people experience when they use the very inexpensive but high quality medical procedures that are available in India. If you are residing in Europe, USA, Canada, Middle East etc. and would like, or need, any high cost medical procedure, or if your own medical services have a long backlog of people on a waiting list, medical tourism may be just for you.

Factors that have led to the increasing popularity of medical travel include

  • High cost of health care in the developed countries. In case Medical Insurance or Government Aid does exist, it may not exist for all the treatments and would sometimes also have a huge co-pay
  • Long wait times for certain procedures in countries like UK and Canada
  • Limited healthcare facilities in Africa and Middle East for complex procedures
  • Ease & affordability of international travel
  • Improvements in both technology & standards of care in many developing countries

The Lowest Cost : The chart below gives you the Cost-Comparison of some of the most common treatments when they are performed in various countries. India clearly emerges as the least cost destination. (We may need to take the date in Excel and put better graph)

High Success Rate :India also has world-class infrastructure and highly trained physicians to provide treatments with very high success-rate. The typical Cardiac Surgery success-rate comparison as seen in the graph below, clearly explains that the Indian Hospitals deliver much higher success-rates than many of your friendly neighbourhood hospitals.

Thus, with the clear and compelling factors as explained above, Medical Tourism to India has become an obvious choice for many people the world-over.
