Medical Tourism

Medical tourism is now a well-established industry, in which foreigners travel to other countries for all kinds of medical interventions, especially for the price benefit. Also referred to as wellness or health tourism, it also enables patients to visit the local attractions of the country. Medical tourism has become the preferred mode of vacationing for a huge number of global travelers. 

Why India can be your optimal destination?

India is one of the few countries, which popularized the concept of medical tourism. It soon emerged among the top 3 destinations in Asia, along with Singapore and Thailand. India is the preferred country for medical tourists for its superior medical infrastructure, high-quality treatment and all-round low costs. And this is across all healthcare domains including cardiology, oncology, orthopedics, pediatrics, neuro-surgery, urology and nephrology.

Also, India is the only country where patients have access to alternative treatments like Yoga, Ayurveda and a host of herbal remedies. Here are some of the main reasons why foreign patients choose India as their healthcare tourism destination:

Quality of Treatment: Indian hospitals in many urban centers are equipped with the latest technologies and medical infrastructure. These are on par with those available in more expensive countries. In India, you can get treated by specialists who are acclaimed worldwide. Also, many multi-national hospitals have established their presence in India, partly in response to the large number of medical tourists that throng India. The nature of Indian hospitality and the emphasis on personal care also has a subtle attraction.

Treatment at Will 

There is zero waiting time for a patient to undergo any medical procedure or start treatment in India. This is in sharp contrast to advanced countries like the USA or UK where patients have to wait their turn. Foreign patients can get treated very quickly and effectively in India. This can be a big advantage in planned surgeries. The no-waiting phenomenon is a very strong reason why the Indian medical system is so popular with foreign patients.

Cost Benefits

In India, the best medical procedures and treatments come at a fraction of the cost incurred in other countries. According to Science Daily, Robotic Radical Prostatectomy costs around $35,000 on average in the United States. In India, the same procedure can be conducted for $7000. This is true for all other aspects of healthcare. The generally low prices make the vacation eminently affordable and highly-enjoyable.

Convenient Follow-ups: Another reason for the popularity of medical tourism is the ease of post-treatment consultations. Patients can follow-up with their Indian healthcare experts seamlessly and keep in touch with them long after they return to their home country. Advice on medical reports, patient feedback and changes in prescribed medications can all be communicated through text, e-mail and audio-visual media.

Places to Visit: With its long and varied heritage, India is a popular tourist destination in its own right. It has a long list of historical places, sea resorts, hill-stations and other places of interest. Depending on the medical condition, patients can get treated while sigh-seeing simultaneously. Other patients get treated first and then embark on a proper Indian vacation. Many choose to stay back until they recuperate fully.

Shree Lakshmi Hospital

Once you choose India as your medical tourism destination, the most important decision you need to make is where you want your treatment to take place. The location should be a tourist destination, be easily accessible and well-connected. Bangalore is one of the most popular vacationing spots in India with an international airport, efficient rail services and major national highways.

Now, there are many critical factors to consider before choosing the right healthcare center like:

Ø  Which hospital is best known to treat your particular condition

Ø  The infrastructure and facilities of the hospital

Ø  The credibility of the healthcare centre and success statistics

Ø  Quality of services and in-house care

Ø  Ease of post-treatment consultation and follow-up from your home country
