Indian Healthcare Among the Top Places in Medical Tourism

India provides a complete balance of mental and emotional health. Because, when it comes to a blending of healtcare with spiritual well-being, India has no rivals.

Thus, T.W. Sudhakar, Regional Director of India tourism for West Asia and Africa said in a statement on Tuesday, “With latest equipment and highly-skilled medical personnel, India is the obvious choice for any treatment. These services are available at competitive prices; attracting patients not only form developing countries but also from developed countries for specialised medical treatments.”

Sudhakar said the tourism sector in the country has witnessed great buoyancy in the last few years. Foreign Tourist Arrivals  during the year 2008 were 5.37 million as compared to 5.08 million during 2007. Therefore, in spite of global financial meltdown, the number of tourists has increased by 5.6 per cent in 2008, compared to 2007 whereas UNWTO growth rate is 1.8 per cent for international tourist arrivals during 2008.

Now, scenario of economic meltdown, India as a health and wellness destination has great potential because of world class doctors and hospitals offer treatment at competitive cost; diverse tourism products such as rural tourism; and ancient system of healing with the expertise of modern medical facilities.
