WHY TRAVEL TO INDIA FOR MEDICAL TOURISM?

The most important reason for people choosing India for medical tourism is the cost-saving and economical treatment options. Hugely, the cost of open-heart surgery is way less in India than it is in the European Nations, the US, and even in several Asian countries. If we talk about non-invasive heart procedures like Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), the cost of only the implant kit is $32,500 and the cost of the surgical valve is approximately $5,000 in the US (3) while the overall procedure can cost up to $78,542 approximately (4). However, the cost of the overall procedure in India can cost up to $ 46,772 in Mumbai city depending on the condition and the diagnosis (5). The overall cost is still half of what it will cost in the US.

People might be skeptical about the quality of care, facilities, and medical treatments offered in India. But this might be a false worry because, in the past twenty years, India has changed considerably when it comes to the medical field. India has been ranked in the top 10 countries as a destination for medical tourism by the Medical Tourism Index (6). For the latest technology and procedures for treatment such as TAVI, the quality of Indian facilities is at par with the western countries when it comes to implementation and adoption of innovative medical procedures and state-of-the-art technology.
