Reasons for Growing Popularity of Medical Tourism
in India

• Medical tourism, also known as health
  tourism, is the practice of visiting another
  country to receive medical treatment. People
  seeking medical treatment travel abroad for
  various reasons including lack of medical
  facilities in their country, expensive treatment,
  etc. More and more people from abroad are now
  travelling to India for getting the right
  treatment, and the growing popularity of medical
  tourism could be attributed to the following

• Owing to the presence of Max healthcare
  hospitals and more in India, people are given the

  and development of medical technologies is the
  reason why people from Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda,

  surgeries like knee replacement or hip
  replacement surgery, or need for transplants like
  liver or kidney transplant, and many more.

2. Reduced Costs

• As compared to Western countries, the cost of
  medical treatment in India is significantly
  lower. Also, owing to the private sector that
  consists of clinics and hospitals with the
  best-in-class facilities, technology, and of
  course, experienced medical professionals, there
  is almost no waiting time. Timely treatment is
  extremely important, and if people seek the right
  doctor at the right time, many more lives can be
  saved.

3. Relaxed Visa Rules

• The Indian government has taken many measures
  to facilitate entry into the country for medical
  purposes. For instance, the facility of e-visa
  for select countries is a more convenient method
  for visitors coming to India for short visits.

4. Overcoming language barriers

• Many hospitals also have regional translators
  to facilitate the flow communication between the
  patient and doctor.

5. Facilitate stay
Many private sector hospitals such as Max
have tie-ups with hotels, guest houses, and
service apartments near the hospital to
facilitate the stay of their international
patients. The visitors can either do the booking
themselves or can let the hospital do it on their
behalf.

  sector hospitals are doing their best in making

  international patients as seamless as possible.
