Medical tourism is one of the rising industries in India

In the next 5 years to come, the Indian medical tourism market is said to grow double the size of any other medical tourism market. India provides medical tourism at an affordable rate in comparison to the other countries in the west. The facilities are world class and the patients are taken care of by the medical centers properly. Hence, India is a good bargain when it comes to medical tourism. 

There are several benefits of medical tourism in India. The biggest among them is the cost. Medical treatment in India is offered at a lower cost than any other developed country in the world. Their air ticket expenses and accommodation expenditure, even if they are put up in a luxury hotel will not be more than their expenses in USA or UK. Patients will be able to save at least 50% of their cost if they choose India over other developed countries.

The second advantage is that of good medical facilities and talented and experienced pool of professionals in the medical field. The high rate of investment in medical research in India and its history of subsidized medical education have created some of the most efficient medical professionals in the world. Many of such talented medical professionals have years of experience in treating patients in the western countries. Hence, they are well acquainted with the medical problems of people there. They use their experience and expertise sitting in India to treat international patients.

The infrastructure in terms of private hospitals is excellent in India. Some of the best private hospitals are situated in India with the latest technology. Some have affiliations with John Hopkins and Harvard Medical Schools. Hence, they have the set up to take care of international patients who are conscious about quality treatment. Language is not a barrier in India as a large cross section of people can understand and speak international languages in India. The Indian government is also extremely supportive of medical tourism. The government has issued special visa for international patients who travel to India for treatment. The government is investing heavily in various projects under medical tourism which will build hospitals for the patients and budget hotels for their relatives. 

India has always encouraged medical tourism. Patients from middle- east and south- East Asian countries have arrived in India with their medical problems. Even people from UK have travelled to India under medical tourism. Only the USA-India medical tourism seems to be new phenomenon. Doctors enjoy a good position in the Indian society and are all powerful when it comes to any kind of medical decisions. Patients in UK, US and Canada are familiar with Indian doctors because there are several Indian doctors practicing those countries. Hence, they can expect the same amount of dedication in the doctors whom they have already met and interacted with.
