What is Medical Tourism?
Medical Tourism is the term given for people seeking medical, dental, optical and cosmetic surgery and treatment abroad. Also called medical travel or health tourism, Medical Tourism is a term initially coined by travel agencies and the media to describe the practice of traveling to another country to obtain health care. The phrases global healthcare and medical journeys have also emerged as synonyms for Medical Tourism. Since, people combine their treatment with a holiday to their destination, hence the term “Medical Tourism”.
The common elective procedures as well as complex specialized surgeries which are obtained include knee/hip joint replacement, cardiac surgery, dental surgery, and cosmetic surgeries. Various factors that have led to the popularity of medical tourism include the high cost of health care, long waiting period for certain procedures, the ease and affordability of international travel, and improvements in both technology and standards of care in many countries.
Why India?
India has some of the most modern hospitals and medical centres imparting healthcare facilities of International leval. The facilities are not only world-class but affordable. Many of the doctors practising in these medical centres have worked or trained in the US, UK, and Germany.
To understand, how popular India has emerged as medical travel destination, read this: A recent study by KPMG - the International business consultancy identified over 100,000 patients from abroad visited India in 2005 in search of medical care. As per a Mc Kinsey study India’s medical tourism industry can be worth a whopping $2.2 billion annually in terms of revenue. It was only a question of time before India harnessed its vast pool of skilled doctors and nurses along with access to the most modern medical technology, at par with the best in the world.
Not only the significant cost differences in healthcare facilities provided in the countries like USA, U.K., UAE and other countries and those extended by India is the only reason for India's emergence as one of the most popular medical treatment destination, but also are waiting times, which exist in these countries for patients, ranging as they do, from 3 months to several months.
India is not only cheaper in the treatment cost but the waiting period is almost nil. This is due to the outburst of the private sector, which comprises of hospitals and clinics fitted with the latest technology and best medical practitioners to cater to growing demands of those needing immediate and quality medical care.
