Why India is best destination for Medical Tour?

Medical Tourism is increasing day by day in India. There is large number of Foreign Tourists arriving in India every year for Medical treatment. In 2016 alone, approximately more than 200,000 tourists arrived on a 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.

In 2015, India became the best destination for Russians people seeking medical treatment. Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore and the National Capital Region received the highest number of foreign patients. Primarily, Chennai is known as India's health capital.
There are 6 reasons that prove India is best in Medical Tourism:-

  1. India is one of the destinations for low cost and highest quality of all medical tourism destinations. Indian Medical Tourism offers a wide variety of procedures at about one-tenth the cost of similar procedures in the United States.
  2. Availability of latest medical technologies and a growing international quality standard in India increases the interest of foreign Tourist in Medical Tourism.
  3. Especially there is no language barrier in India because of lot of Doctors trained in western countries including US and UK, as well as English speaking personnel.

4. The primary motivation of foreign patients might be access to better quality of healthcare and timely medical aid. The opportunity to visit a new destination is an additional draw for some. Especially for patients seeking dental care, cosmetic care, etc., as they can enjoy exploring India while recovering from that particular treatment.
5. The absence of difficulty in Travel visa brings more foreign Tourist in India because the government of India has removed visa restrictions on tourist visas that required a two-month gap between consecutive visits for people from Gulf countries which is likely to boost medical tourism. According to Government data 2016, citizens of Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Maldives, Republic of Korea and Nigeria have most availed medical visas.
6. India is a country of rich cultural heritage. The medicinal practices in the country date back to the era of Ayurveda, Yoga and other natural therapies.
