Medical Tourism to India is a concept heavily in vogue, whereby people from world over visit India for their medical and relaxation needs. Most common medical conditions for whcih people visit India are heart surgery, cosmetic surgery, knee transplant and dental care. The reason why India is a favourable destination is because of the infrastructure and technology in healthcare segment which is at par with those in developed countries. India has some of the best hospitals and treatment centers in the world with the best facilities. Since it is also one of the most favourable tourist destinations in the world for meditation and relaxation, Medication combines with tourism has come into effect, from which the concept of Medical Tourism is derived.
There are loads of medical tourism websites available on the web but most of them tend to be advertising one medical center or the other. I think the best way is to get in touch with someone who has been through a similar treatment in India and find out how far does it auger well for you. Also, you can find out from your local health insurance provider which are the best medical centers in India in case you need one when you are travelling. Below is a clip fropm one of the most respected newspaper of India. And, believe you me,. it is true.
"For example, in April Madras Medical Mission, a Chennai-based hospital, successfully conducted a complex heart operation on an 87-year-old American patient at a reported cost of $8,000 (€7,000, £4,850) including the cost of his airfare and a month's stay in hospital. The patient claimed that a less complex operation in America had earlier cost him $40,000."
