India - The Emerging Global Health Destination
Recognized as a potential “global health destination”, India is set to reach new heights in the field of medical tourism. There has been an increase in the number of foreign patients in India in recent years. Records suggest that the cost of healthcare and medical services in India is almost one-tenth of the prices charged in the US or Britain. This is one of the primary factors accounting for the rise in the number of medical tourists. Besides, the quality of medical services offered here is, in no way, inferior to its British or American counterpart. Indian corporate hospitals use the latest technologies and offer advanced medical services, in line with the hospitals in developed nations.
