A lot od state of art private hostpitals have commenced operations in the last 5-8 years. Some of them might be costly for the Indians but still the tourists will find them relatively cheaper than their own country. Healthcare Tourism
Medical Tourism India is fast blossoming on account of its worldclass healthcare facilities at an astonishing affordable charge. Besides, medical tourists can heal themselves faster by spending their vacation at some of the most beautiful Indian tourist spots. The Indian hospitality is one of the prime reasons for the constant insurge of patients from across the world, thus contributing to the growth of the medical tourism industry in India.
Dr. Milica Bookman, Professor of Economics at St. Joseph's University, is doing research on the effect of medical tourism on the economies and healthcare infrastructure of developing countries like India. She has written a book based on her research called 'Medical Tourism in Developing countries'. Read an interview with Dr. Bookman here.
If it was only cost advantage that medical tourism provided, then it wouldnt have become the huge industry that it is today. Thanks to the outstanding quality of medical care in India, Mexico, Costa Rica, Belgium, Thailand, etc., people are no longer hesitant to go abroad. We have the positive feedback of many patients here to vouch for this.
