Western Citizens from countries like UK, USA and Canada Regularly Visit India For Medical Solution

Indian medical tourism is growing very fast according to CII-McKinsey report 2000. With state-of-the-art medical facilities, with ability to speak English, India has some of the world’s best health professionals and latest medical equipment with excellent technology and infrastructure that meet the stringent standards of the US Food and Drug Administration.

European Citizens from countries like Great Britain, USA and Canada, who have national health care schemes, often undertake overseas travel to cut down on extra waiting time. Similarly, others might head abroad to get a cosmetic surgery done since it is not covered by most insurance providers.

India is one of the cheapest countries to provide quality healthcare. Cost of the many procedures is just 6% to 21% of the US expenditure. India deals with a high proportion of major surgery tourists than the other countries, which has given rise to specialist corporate hospitals across India. These hospitals are far out of the reach of most Indians and cater specifically to foreign tourists for various specialties for example some centres will focus strongly on heart surgery while others will deal with joint replacements.

These specialist hospitals are very new with top rate medical teams, high volume and experience in their specialty and the best equipment available. High volume of heart surgeries does not translate into high volumes overall, however, and these hospitals rely heavily on the internet, to recruit prospective patients. These facilities also offer procedures that are rare or unavailable in the United States, such as hip polishing or resurfacing, which is a popular surgery for medical tourists.

India's medical tourism market is valued at roughly $8.7 billion and is projected to reach $16.2 billion by 2030. International patients choose India for advanced treatments that cost 60% to 90% less than in Western nations, combined with zero waiting lists and top-tier accreditations like NABH and JCI.
