Advantage India – Quality for Price
Excellent Medical Treatment + Tour
of India <= Cost of treatment in The US/Canada/UK
India has been steadily gaining its ground
as the preferred location for medical tourism. While significant
cost differences exist between India and the USA, UK and other
developed countries, the quality of medical treatment is definitely
another determining factor. India not only provides affordable
medical treatment but also provides quality medical services
and world-class infrastructure that are at par with advanced
countries. In fact, the success rates of some large corporate
hospitals in India are better than their counterparts in North
America.
Another plus point is that in India there
are no wait times for any critical medical treatments, unlike
Canada or the UK. The rapid rise of the private sector, which
comprises of hospitals and clinics with the latest technology
and best practitioners, make it easy to find a suitable place
for proper treatment of almost any disease. Since Indian Corporate
sector hospitals are relatively new, the technology equipment
is state of the art.
To give you an idea of the cost savings you
could expect by choosing India as your destination, we have
listed some cost comparisions for popular elective surgical
procedures. There is no fixed all inclusive price offering

Quality and Qualification of Indian Doctors
The quality of hospital service delivery and the qualification
of doctors is a prime consideration while choosing the destination
for your elective procedure. In India, you get the best of
both these things. Indian doctors are highly qualified and
the Indian medical education system ensures that even a fresh
graduate doctor would have a very clear and substantial understanding
of the subject. In additon to this, is the general nature
of Indians - caring, softspoken and attentive.
In the USA, 1 out of 20 practicing doctors
are Indians or Americans of Indian origin. Today Indian doctors
are found in almost all parts of the world and they are contributing
greatly to the treatment of patients all across North America,
Great Britain, East Africa and South East Asian. Indian doctors
have found a home in the medical marketplace, where they are
a mainstay in primary patient care in urban and rural areas.
Statistics say, Indians make up roughly 20 percent of the
"International Medical Graduates" - or foreign-trained
doctors - operating in the U.S.
Registered Nurses of Indian origin are also in great demand in North America and chances are that some of you may have encountered an Indian nurse or a doctor at some point in time.
