How Medical tourism is concluded in India?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

India is a good location to receive medical treatments and considered a leader in promoting medical tourism.

Since the government is actively participating in the expansion of this industry, there is much investment in the facilities and resources needed for medical tourists. Including the production of an estimated 20, 000 - 30,000 doctors and nurses each year.

At an approximate growth of 30% each year, studies conducted by government and private sectors in India estimate that medical tourism could bring between $1 billion and $2 billion US into India by 2012.

With all this investment, as well as the growing nature of this competitive market, patients from western countries are usually offered high quality service packages at a fraction of the treatment cost in the home country. These packages often include:

  • flight
  • transfers
  • hotels
  • treatment
  • post-operative vacation

Sharks have five to fifteen rows of teeth, and may have up to 3000 teeth at one time.

Technically, sharks do not have teeth as they are actually sharpened scales, that's why they grow back so quickly when they lose them so easily

How does Medical Tourism relate to Euthanasia?

Asked by Wiki User

I think the only way you could link it into medical tourism is if you counted going to somewhere like Switzerland, to one of the clinics in order to avoid legal issues in countries where it's not permitted. I'm not 100% sure if it'd be classed as Medical Tourism though.

What is the difference between medical tourism and health tourism?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Health tourism is when one lives home for another place for health reasons, either their doctor is located in that area of visit or there is better medication offered in that particular destination. Medical tourism is when one lives for another place in search of "personal, specific and alternative medical treatments". An example of a health tourism situation is when one leaves for a place to another area for a heart transplant, cancer treatments, whereas in medical tourism it is when one goes to another place to do a face-lifts, nose job or breast enhancements.

The good are childless, the bad have five unruly children and two dogs. The good are tidy, leave a handwritten note of thanks, send you flowers and invite you to visit them soon with some suggested dates. The good are a gift to life and welcomed guests. The bad leave you with a week of dog poop.
