I thought we should have something lighter than Liquidation for a lazy Sunday afternoon brunch.So here goes a late Saturday night post for a late Sunday morning read.
Medical tourism - the phenomenon in which hospitals in emerging markets offer "sun, sand and surgery" at low prices to patients from North America and Europe - is gaining in popularity. While India lags behind countries like Thailand as a result of airport infrastructure and other bottlenecks, health care providers such as Apollo Hospitals are expanding at 10% a year.
India especially seems to be a hot spot for medical tourism due to the following reasons-
- Hospitals in India cost up to 5 times cheaper for North-Americans and up to 3 times as cheaper for affluent South Asians such as Singaporeans.
- India as such is a popular tourist destination.It is as diverse as an entire continent (be it in terms of climate,landscapes,languages,food,culture or religion) and lighter on the pocket than most!
- It offers several traditional and authentic forms of medicine and cure such as ayurveda.
- We have several Indians as practicing doctors in the west .Westeners have on that count some familiarity and association with Indian doctors.
