International Patient

Medical Tourism also known as Health or Wellness Tourism is a new form of a niche tourism market that became popular in the past few years. Medical tourism can be referred to as the act of traveling to other countries for obtaining medical assistance and care that is not available to the patient in their home country or is beyond the reach of the patient. Many countries have adopted a proactive approach for medical tourists and have facilitated international patients by offering excellent care and treatment facilities. India holds a prominent place across the globe when it comes to medical tourism. This is mainly due to the fact the country offers top-notch treatment services at a nominal cost.

Key factors that promote Medical Tourism in India

Cost-effective

Unlike developing countries, the cost of medical treatment is comparatively higher in developed countries and this is the primary reason for which patients decide to cross borders. This makes India one of the preferred destinations for medical tourism for both surgical and non-surgical procedures. Some major surgeries include orthopedic surgery, breast implant, body contouring, and the charges are significantly lower than in countries like the USA.

Advanced medical technology

The latest machinery and use of advanced medical technology at affordable rates is another benefit for which international patients prefer countries like India for treatment. Moreover, in developed countries patients have a long waiting time for surgeries which is not so in countries like India.

Easy regulations

The government is also taking necessary initiatives to highlight the country as a global medical tourist destination hub. Medical Visa (M-visa) facilities have been introduced for allowing medical tourists to stay in the country for a specific period till the treatment completes.

No barriers to communication

With growing medical tourism, hospitals are now hiring staff who are well versed in English communication as English is the official language of communication for most countries. In addition to this, translators are also hired in some hospitals if the patient is from a non-English speaking country.
