QUALITY MEDICAL TREATMENT IN INDIA

Wot, come to India and open my mouth ? And I get a plane ticket for that ? Amazing !

THE BEST, AND AT LOW COST

Coming to India for medical treatment is an unusual but interesting travel angle. India has some of the finest hospitals and some of the lowest costs.

The major surgeries that can be performed in India for a fraction of the cost elsewhere in the world include heart surgeries, eye operations, kidney transplantation and gastrointestinal surgeries.

In dental care India scores too. While a root canal treatment could cost Rs 3000 in the best Indian dental clinic , about 50 us dollars, it can easily cost more than five times that in the expensive industrialized countries of the world.

LONG WAITING LIST

In UK or countries that have free healthcare but long waiting lists many people opt for India to escape the winter ,have a vacation and get good treatment at very low costs.

For travellers from countries with less developed medical facilites than India , it is advantageous to come to India for the same treatment at lower cost and greater warmth amongst the people.

At a more mundane level, the cost of prescription glasses is five times to eight times less in India compared to the UK. As is the cost of an eye checkup. Smart travellers to India often pick up more than one set of glasses saving over a couple of hundred pounds in the

process.

The ayurveda therapy in Kerala has become a byword for tourism to Kerala. This indigenous system of panchakarma medicine has bowled over many travellers. A quick check up of the imbalances in the body is followed by a regimen of massage,diet and medicine that heals you permanently.
