The NRI community from all over the world has opted to choose surgery tourism in India for health recovery at cheap price. The word surgery tourism in India here means traveling to India for health recovery and touring famous Indian destinations after or before getting the surgery. People of Indian & Asian origin in countries like, U.S.A, U.K, Oman, U.A.E and Saudi Arabia and Europe feel safe in the hands of Indian Doctors, because Indian doctors have proved themselves in providing excellent healthcare services in the field of obesity surgery, plastic surgery, orthopaedic surgery, dental surgery spine surgery and infertility treatment and have made NRI’s happy with the results. With world class health facilities, zero waiting time and most importantly one tenth of medical costs spent in the U.S or U.K, India is becoming a preferred medical tourism destination and also matching the medical treatment services NRI’s prefer India because it is affordable cost medical treatment options as compared to treatment available in their own resident destinations. Private hospitals are making deliberate efforts to attract medical tourists for better profits. The ministry of health and family welfare including medical tourism industry in India have set up a task force to design a strategy for health tourism. However, popularity of modern Indian healthcare is no more a secret. India has been offering updated surgical methods for health benefit to both international and domestic patients.

NRI’s are traveling to Indian medical locations and modernized surgery hospitals of Chennai, Goa, Delhi and Mumbai to get health recovery, in increasing number. The most commonly sought medical procedures in India include weight loss surgery or obesity surgery, heart surgery, orthopedic surgery, cosmetic surgery and dental treatment with infertility surgery. The reason, India is a favorable international medical destination is because it's infrastructure and technology is par with the top medical centers in the U.S.A, U.K and Europe. India has one of the best hospitals and treatment centers in the world with the best facilities. India is promoting the "high-tech healing" of its private healthcare sector as a state-of-the-art. Indian hospitals at metro cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Chennai have established world-class expertise in practices such as cardiac care, cosmetic surgery, orthopaedic surgery and dentistry. Indian hospitals have expertise in both surgical and rejuvenation procedure, robotic surgery which was a dream once, Indian doctors had made it true and possible in India. NRI patients in developed countries are looking overseas for medical treatment like cosmetic surgery, cardiac bypass surgery, hair transplant surgery, obesity surgery, cancer surgery, infertility treatment and spine surgery. India is capitalizing on its low cost medical services and highly trained doctors to appeal to these "international medical travelers." Even with airfare, the cost of going for an international surgery is markedly cheaper, and the quality of services is often better than that found in the United States and U.K. Surgery tourism, an unexplored segment in India, brings about one and half lakh tourists to India each year for advanced surgery, this figure is increasing each year.

 

Indian doctors have excellent qualifications and skills like their counterparts in the U.K, Australia and U.S. A recent article in “India Today” quoted that Indian hospitals and doctors have become the health care destination for foreigners. When you can get world class orthopedic surgery in Chennai at half the cost as in the West, or even in the Gulf, then it is certainly cost effective. For e.g.: A total knee replacement in some of the private hospitals in the Gulf costs about 50,000 U.A.E Dirhams (17 000 U.S$). The same treatment can be provided in India for less then three fourths of the cost. Abroad natives come to India for health recovery as well as visiting the cultural heritage of India this is termed as ‘medical tourism’. Another peculiarity is reversal of tourist traffic from developed nations to third world for cheaper treatment. But it is confusing how a sick person can be on a holiday and enjoy leisure like any other tourist. Ignoring this fundamental question, surgery tourism also called medical tourism is widely opted by NRIs to get standard healthcare at low cost.
