The costs of health care in developed countries are spiraling, and not everyone has adequated medical insurance to cover the cost of expensive surgeries, like knee replacements, cosmetic surgery, and heart bypass operations. Increasingly, people have been turning towards Indian hospitals, to cater to their needs. There are no communication problems, as everyone speaks English. The staff is used to looking after overseas patients, and are sensitive to their needs. The quality of personal care provided, with a human touch, is much better than you would have seen anywhere in the world --- and all for a fraction of what it would cost you in the UK or USA!! |

In the past year alone, about 200,000 medical tourists came to India for treatment. According to a Confederation of Indian Industry (CII)-Mckinsey study, released in 2004, medical tourism is expected to generate revenues of $1-2 Billion, for the Indian economy. Cost remains the prime consideration. Whereas basic orthopedic surgery would cost $30,000 in USA, it would cost only $4,000 in India. Similarly, a kidney transplant operation, costing $80,000 in USA, and $50,000 in the UK, would cost only $7-8000 in India. |

|
Another major contributing factor, is the competency and quality of Indian doctors. The best hospitals in the UK and USA, have Indian doctors working for them, and patients have developed trust and faith in them, over time. All the consultants on our panel, have received training in these countries, and hold qualifications like the American Board Diplomate, FRCS, MRCP etc. |

Coupled to your surgery, you could tap into India's vast resources, in holistic and alternative medical therapies. You could recuperate in serene surroundings, where you will be pampered no end, by the friendly and caring staff. Or you could head for the beach in Goa, at a luxury resort, to get that suntan you always wanted! The opportunities are limitless, and if you plan on some sightseeing, why not experience the royal splendor of Rajasthan, or the timeless wonder that is the Taj Mahal! |

The hospitals provide state of the art air-conditioned rooms, with an en-suite bathroom, colour television and a phone. There is a provision for an accompanying partner to stay with the patient, in the same room. Additional accommodation is available on request, at very nominal rates. Some hospitals also have other modern facilities like internet cafes, a choice of different cuisines in cafeterias, and prayer rooms. On request, a dedicated nurse can be arranged, for the entire duration of the trip. |

We have entered into business tie-ups as a third party facilitator, with the major hospital groups in India. They have given us access to their best rates, which would not be passed on to you, if you were to approach them on your own. By going through us, you do not have to deal with the paperwork, and the costs could be lowered. In addition, we can advise you regarding the variety of options available, and we can even arrange a holiday package for you. |

On request, a dedicated nurse / companion can be provided, for the duration of stay post surgery, or to accompany you on a sightseeing tour.
