What is Medical Tourism?
Medical tourism (also called medical travel, health tourism or global
healthcare) is a term used to describe the rapidly-growing practice of
travelling across international borders to seek healthcare services.
Services typically sought by travelers include elective procedures as well
as complex surgeries, etc.
India holds advantage as a medical tourism destination due
to following factors:
Most of the doctors and surgeons at Indian hospitals are trained or have
worked at some of the medical institutions in the US, Europe, or other
developed nations.
Most doctors and nurses are fluent in English.
Top -of-the-line medical and diagnostic equipment from global
international conglomerates is available at many Indian hospitals.
Indian nurses are among the best in the world. Nearly 1000 recognized
nurses-training centers in India, mostly attached to teaching hospitals,
graduate nearly 10,000 nurses annually.
Even the most budget-conscious traveler can afford first-rate service
and luxury amenities.
