First, let us introduce you to the concept of medical tourism and explain in short what you could expect from becoming an "international patient", or medical tourist to India.

Basically, everything comes from that single, simple statement: we live in the 'personal' age.

As we move from central power to personal power, you can decentralize everything: computing, knowledge, energy production, manufacturing and health care etc.

That's why more and more people are temporarily leaving their “first world” country - where the costs of cardiac surgery, cosmetic surgery, dentistry, eye surgery, etc. have become too expensive - to be cured abroad, in comparatively in developing countries such as India, with nonetheless high-level medical teams but with much lower prices as compared to western or developed nations health care.

Healthcare has become a global concern. In a competitive global market where information is shared instantly, consumers have all the knowledge and choices at their disposal. The internet enables would be patient's to seek out the best medical service providers, or to find out specialist medical care hospital / clinic.

For many people thorough the world, medical tourism is still a totally new concept, and for the others, they were used, until recently, to prepare themselves for their medical care trip and find themselves their doctor and hospital outside their country of residence. For most patients, initial fears about language difficulties and the logistics of traveling overseas are allayed by linking up with a medical service providing company experienced in putting health trips together that is where Mediescapes India comes in picture and it closely works as a bridge in between specialists medical consultants, hospitals of repute and a potential international patient wishing to come to India for his / her medical treatment in any specialized field currently available in India at a much cheaper cost compared to back home and with almost no waiting list to seek his / her medical health treatment.

With prices at a fraction (sometimes only 1/10th!) of those in the US or EU or in the Western world, the concept has broad consumer appeal – if people can overcome their prejudices about health care in developing countries. The reality is that Indian private facilities offer advanced technology and high-quality procedures on par with hospitals in developed nations.

India is the leading country promoting medical tourism in the world. It is even moving into a new area of "medical outsourcing" where subcontractors aim to provide services to the overburdened medical care systems in western countries. Medical tourism to India is growing by 30% a year and the Indian education system is churning out an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 doctors and nurses each year.

India benefits from its large medically qualified skilled staff of world class experts and the ultra-competitive cost advantage it offers. While a heart surgery costs $30,000 in the US, it costs $6,000 in India. Similarly, a bone marrow transplant costs $26,000 here compared to $250,000 in the US. You can add to this that Indian doctors are among the best in the world.

Western patients thus usually get a package deal that includes flights, transfers, hotels, treatment and often a post-operative vacation.

Our unique medical tourism portal website, www.mediescapes.com  aims to be an extensive resource for International patients needing affordable medical care in India at the same level one could expect from a “first-world” country service but with an third world prices tag!.
