- Medical tourism can be broadly defined as provision of 'cost effective' private
medical care in collaboration with the tourism industry for patients needing
surgical and other forms of specialized treatment. This process is being
facilitated by the corporate sector involved in medical care as well as the
tourism industry - both private and public.
- Medical or Health tourism has become a common form of vacationing, and covers a
broad spectrum of medical services. It mixes leisure, fun and relaxation
together with wellness and healthcare.
- The idea of the health holiday is to offer you an opportunity to get away from
your daily routine and come into a different relaxing surrounding. Here you can
enjoy being close to the beach and the mountains. At the same time you are able
to receive an orientation that will help you improve your life in terms of your
health and general well being. It is like rejuvenation and clean up process on
all levels - physical, mental and emotional.
- India is considered the leading country promoting medical tourism-and now it is
moving into a new area of "medical outsourcing," where subcontractors provide
services to the overburdened medical care systems in western countries.
- India's National Health Policy declares that treatment of foreign patients is
legally an "export" and deemed "eligible for all fiscal incentives extended to
export earnings." India's top-rated education system is not only churning out
computer programmers and engineers, but an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 doctors
and nurses each year.
- Western patients usually get a package deal.India has developed its
infrastructure to international levels, it will be able to benefit medical
services sector and moreover help the world access the Indian medical services.
