Yes, currently India receives patients from over 50 countries across the world. Here are some reasons behind its emergence as the preferred healthcare destination:
- The cost of medical care in India is very low as compared to that in many western countries.
- India has a vast reservoir of skilled doctors. Many of them proved their mettle in the US and UK and returned to India to work in hospitals here. The caliber of other doctors practicing in India is also of a very high order.
15. I always thought India was a poor nation of snake charmers and rope trick. How then can it offer world-class health care that too at minimal costs?
India has all along been a knowledge-oriented nation. However, it never had a chance to showcase its expertise. The revolution in Information Technology changes the rules of the game. India has made complete use of the knowledge base built by its English-speaking engineers to come out and display its immense capabilities.
And now for the cost, India is a diverse economy where a family of four can live comfortably without debt, on a monthly income of just US $300. As a result, the costs of services and products too have stayed at extremely low levels.
Thanks to the world becoming inter-connected and people being more willing to explore other nations, India has emerged as a preferred source of low cost healthcare
