What is Medical Tourism
|
This is an Industry with billions of dollars annual turnover and
also called as Health Tourism too. Travelling from one place to another or one country
to another, in search of an affordable and good medical treatment is the simplest
definition for the term “Medical Tourism”. Yester years
witnessed people travelling from developing countries in search of specialized treatments
that were not available in their countries, to the developed countries, paying a
very high cost. It was only affordable for the Rich. The Trend was reversed, when
the developing countries started providing high class Super Specialty Facilities
at an affordable and reasonable cost. People from developed west and oil rich middle-East
and many neighbouring countries too, travel to India for its best medical facilities.
India is expected to record a 30% growth in this segment of tourism in 2015.

COST AFFORDABLE
DESTINATION
|
COST –
it is an important factor in anything including the Medical Treatment all around
the globe. The changing technologies, increasing classifications of treatment,
escalating charges of Medical Professionals make the treatment affordability
an uphill task for ever increasing list of diseases. The Western Countries are becoming
exorbitantly expensive and the problem is compounded by the under insured or non-
insured factor. India is the best available Cost affordable option.
Asian countries are the most Cost Affordable destination with excellent and latest
technologies along with professionals, among the best in the world. IBEF
Study says, India offers : Open Heart Surgery , Liver Transplant, Hip Replacement,
Knee Replacement packages at 30 to 50% lesser than Thailand, which
is reported to be the only Asian Competitor to India in Medical Tourism. Apollo
Hospitals first opened up at Chennai then followed by Fortis, Max, Escorts, Wockhardt,
Sterling and Global ; Sankara Nethralaya and Agarwal Eye hospitals
are some of the group hospital services available at best affordable cost in Tamil
Nadu and in many other cities of India. More..
