Press Release Body = RNCOS Research: (http://www.rncos.com/Report/IM039.htm) Growing
impressively, the medical tourism has emerged as a major contributor to the overall
tourism industry in India.
Offering a number of alternative systems of medicine, such as ayurveda, meditation,
yoga and so on, to choose from, India seems to have become the latest hub for the
patients from countries such as New Zealand, Australia to name a few. Whether it’s
some chronic disease or a cosmetic surgery, people are flocking to India in search
of relief from high costs and long waiting lists in their countries. During the
year 2005 alone, about 1,53,000 foreigners landed in India to take advantage of the
comparatively low priced and efficient medical services offered by the country.
A few of the reasons why the medical tourism has observed such a remarkable growth
during the recent years include:
§ The reputation earned by the Indian medical professionals all over the world. A
number of prominent hospitals throughout US, UK and Canada comprise of Indian
nurses, doctors & paramedics, who are the backbone of the overall healthcare systems
of these countries.
§ Medical procedures in India cost just a quarter as compared to the West and also
the quality is as good as that of the international standards.
