Frequently
Asked Questions: Medical Tourism 1) Why should
I consider dental care, medical or surgical procedures in India?
The Clinical outcomes are at par with the world's best centers having internationally
qualified & experienced Doctors. Costs of the medical procedures in India are
approximately 1/5th to 1/10th of costs in the west. This cost differential enables
you the opportunity to have a vacation in an exotic country, recover in a 4 to
5 star resort in complete anonymity, and then return home having spent less than
the procedure alone in your country. There is no waiting time for any surgical
procedures. 2) Is India really a better place to get medical
treatment? Yes, Currently India receives patients from over 50 countries
across the world. Here are some reasons behind its emergence as the preferred
healthcare destination: The cost of medical care in India is very low when compared
to that in many western countries. India has a vast reservoir of skilled doctors.
Many of them have proved their mettle in the US and UK and returned to India to
work in hospitals here. The caliber of other doctors practicing in India is also
of a very high order. 3) What is the typical cost difference
of medical procedures abroad? The difference in price depends upon
the medical procedure you choose. The cost is 1/5th to 1/10th of costs of many
procedures in the west. This significant cost reduction enables you purchase a
round trip air ticket, recover in a 5 star resort, buy a new wardrobe, and return
home saving money. 4) Why is medical care so much cheaper in
India? Many countries have world-renowned health care system in
terms of quality and technology, but have not adopted the legal system completely
as in the western countries. For e.g. Doctors in the US are required to pay medical
malpractice insurance that usually cost over $100,000 annually. Foreign doctors
are required to pay medical malpractice insurance as well, but their costs are
as low as $4000 annually. In addition to this insurance, certain economies are
at different stages of development than the US. This absolutely does not mean
that their healthcare technologies and institutions are behind the US. In fact,
most of the private hospitals in India use exactly the same machines and instruments
as the most advanced hospitals in the west. 5) How can I trust
