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.
