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.

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
