Medical Tourism: Medical Tourism In India, Healthcare Tourism In India: Welcome To Recover Discover

I visited India in January 2008 for a Gastric Bypass procedure. My surgery was performed at the Wockhardt hospital in Mumbai. My surgeon Dr. Ramen Goel was excellent as was the nursing and support staff at the hospital. Wockhardt Hospital has very good and modern facilities. Recover Discover healthcare assisted me with my procedure and patiently handled all my queries over a six month period while I was in touch with them. Overall my experience with Recover Discover and Wockhardt has been very positive and I would recommend them to anyone who is planning to go overseas for medical attention. V.K., Chicago, USA

I used the services of Recover Discover Healthcare for arranging my liposuction and breast reduction surgeries. All my queries were responded to in a timely and efficient manner. Whatever information that I needed was made available to me. Recover Discover Healthcare arranged my surgeries at the Fortis Hospital at Mohali near Chandigarh. My surgeon Dr. K M Kapoor was excellent, caring and had exceptional ability to listen to all my queries and concerns. The nursing staff was very courteous and caring. The hospital had state of the art facilities. Recover Discover has an excellent system of handling patient queries and co-ordination with their affiliate hospitals. Atul Bahl was always available to answer all my questions. I would heartily recommend using Recover Discover to anyone who is considering undergoing surgery in India....R.J., Mauritius

Medical tourism can be broadly defined as the provision of 'cost effective' private medical care in collaboration with the tourism industry for patients needing surgical and other forms of specialized treatment. The process of healthcare tourism is jointly facilitated by the corporate sector involved in medical and healthcare as well as the tourism industry - both private and public.

Medical tourism has become a common form of vacationing, and covers a broad spectrum of medical services. Medical tourism mixes leisure, fun and relaxation together with wellness and healthcare.

A combination of many factors has lead to the recent increase in popularity of medical tourism. Exorbitant cost of healthcare and medical facilities in advanced countries, ease and affordability of international travel, favorable currency exchange rates in the global economy, rapidly improving technology and high standards of medical care in the developing countries has all contributed their share to this rapid development of medical tourism.

India has originated as one of the most important hubs for medical toursim.Many people from the developed countries come to India for the rejuvenation promised by yoga and Ayurvedic massage however, a nice blend of top-class medical expertise at attractive prices is helping more and more Indian corporate hospitals to lure foreign patients, including patients from developed nations such as the UK and the US, for high end surgeries like Cardiac ByPass Surgery or a Knee/Hip Replacement.

As more and more patients from Europe, the USA and other affluent nations with high medical costs look for effective options, healthcare tourism in India is definitely on the cards for most of them and the fast growing Indian corporate health sector is fully geared to meet that need.

Not just cost savings or the high standard of medical care facility, but also the waiting time is much lower for any treatment in India than in any other country. Medical help is often an emergency and situations can turn worse if the treatment is delayed. While you might have to wait for several months to get a surgical operation done in the US, in India things can be arranged within a week.
