It is estimated that the industry in India
is increasing by around 30 per cent per year at the moment with more people
struggling to afford healthcare costs at home. Prices are increasing year on
year and this is prompting patients to look abroad for affordable solutions.
Medical
facilities in India
Facilities in India are improving all the
time and as the industry booms, more clinics are opening, many of which are
dedicated to medical tourism. Agencies have been launched to encourage tourists
to visit India and remove the stress of trying to organise the trip and this
has made it very easy for people to travel abroad for medical treatment.
The main hospitals and clinics aimed at
medical tourists are located in Chennai, which has been nicknamed ‘the health
capital of India’. Chennai is home to dental and medical clinics, offering a
range of treatments, from cosmetic dentistry and weight loss surgery to general
and cosmetic surgery.
New surgeries and clinics are popping up
all over India in response to the growing demand for treatment and India offers
the latest treatments. The most popular procedures include cosmetic dentistry and
dental implants and cosmetic surgery.
Standards
of care in India
India is known for high standards of
medical training and education. Many of the doctors who train in India work in
the UK and America and doctors are required to comply with professional
standards on a level with Western European countries. As with all treatment, it
is advisable for patients to check out the clinic and doctor they are visiting
in advance and do some research to ensure that the clinic is registered and
approved and the doctor has the relevant experience and expertise.
What
does India have to offer medical tourists?
The major draw of having treatment in India
is the cost. Fees are up to 70 per cent lower than in the UK and the USA and
patients can save thousands of pounds even after they have factored in the cost
of travel and accommodation. In addition, there are usually no waiting lists,
the treatment range is large and expanding all the time and new clinics boast
state of the art equipment and technology.
In terms of tourist attractions, India has
something for everyone, whether you want to experience the heat and bohemian
intrigue of the Goan beaches and the amazing spa facilities and sands of
Kerala, tick off the famous attractions, such as the Taj Mahal and the Mysore
Palace or experience the amazing landscapes of Darjeeling, India will amaze and
inspire you. The cost of living is very low and accommodation is inexpensive.
If you are considering having treatment in
India it is well worth taking a few extra days to explore this amazing country.
