Cost Benefits

The rising cost of health care, insurance, and demand has forced many natives to seek help across borders. As such, more and more people from overseas are traveling to distant lands for Quality Treatment of simple as well as complex medical and surgical procedures.

With prices at a fraction (less than 10% for example in the treatment of gall stone $600 US) of those in the United States or Europe, the concept has broad consumer appeal.  Indian private and corporate facilities offer advanced technology and high-quality treatment at par with hospitals in developed countries.

India is promoting "medical outsourcing" where subcontractors aim to provide services to the overburdened medical care systems in developed countries. Medical tourism to India is growing by 20% a year.

Due to the current favorable Rupee/Dollar/Pound/Euro exchange rate foreign clients can take advantage of the weak Rupee and expect savings of up to 75% over the same treatment in their own countries, with no compromise on quality.
