India

Both private and public sectors in India are competing to make India the future international hub of medical tourism care. For the last decade, India has been known throughout the world for their expertise in information technology, software, outsourcing, and business services. Next up is sure to be medical tourism.

Americans are already familiar with highly skilled Indian doctors at their local hospital down the street. What they may not know is that many of these doctors are heading back to India to ride this new medical travel wave. During the past few years, many of the top private hospitals in India have build brand new, ultra modern facilities and invested in the latest medical technology in order to lure international health tourism patients from around the world. The vast majority of these hospitals are in the process of applying for JCAHO Accreditation as well.

India, with its extensive labor pool and extremely educated population is an excellent destination for world-class medical treatment. Being a former colony of Great Britain, the English language is prevalent throughout the country. Two key drawbacks to India, which both the public and private sector are working feverishly to change, are 1) foreigners are required to obtain a visa to enter the country; and 2) many areas outside of the major cities may be unsettling to American visitors who are not accustomed to seeing large scale poverty. This being said, both the hospitals and hotels are totally safe, modern, clean, and world-class facilities. Our partner facilities in India are among the top international healthcare facilities in the country and are in the final stages of receiving full JCAHO Accreditation.
