Why India Preferred for Medical Tourism ?
Did
you know that a whooping number of medical tourists arrive each year to India
for their Medical treatment package in India. In 2016 alone, approximately more
than 200,000 tourists arrived on medical visa for their treatment and this
number is increasing each year by 40-45%. The medical tourism industry of India
in 2015 was estimated at US$3 billion & is projected to grow to $7-8
billion by 2020.
Traditionally the healthcare sector of India struggled to cater to the domestic needs because of the deficit in infrastructure & technical manpower. However, with advent of private hospitals & the evolution of the industry as a whole, quite a large number of private sector hospitals are now equipped with world class infrastructure & capabilities. The role of government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in this trajectory has been monumental
Here are 4 major reasons
people are choosing India for Medical Tourism:
- Unavailability of Quality Healthcare in Source Countries :
Nations
where the spending on open social insurance area is constrained and where the
medicinal services division has not developed as much might not have the
framework and capacity to meet the human services needs of their populace. They
rather depend vigorously on Medical Tourism. Numerous African, South American
and Middle Eastern countries fall under this classification.
2.High Affordability & Cost Effectiveness : Medical procedures in developed countries such as U.S., U.K., etc. are very high as compared to India & other Medical Tourism spots. A person coming to India for his/her medical treatment can save anywhere between 30 to 70 per cent even including the cost of ticket expenses & accommodation.
