Information
Profile @ a glance
- Patients all over the globe are becoming conscious of the
qualitative and financial benefits of traveling to various healthcare
providers in India. The reasons of patients may vary from long waiting
hours to non-availability of treatments in poor countries.
- Every year millions of Arabs travel internationally for medical
treatment in various countries and more than 300 corporate and health
insurance companies in the region have funds dedicated to international
medical travel
- Some destination countries such as India and Thailand have actively
promoted medical tourism. This is because it can bring about benefits
including increases in revenue, foreign exchange reserves and tourism
- India offers world-class health care that costs substantially less
than that in developed countries, using the same technology delivered by
competent specialists who attain similar success rates.
- In India ‘medical tourism’ is growing at the rate of 30% a year and
is expected to generate revenues of Rs.100 billion by 2012
- The Marketing Development Assistance Scheme (MDA), administered by
the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, would provide financial
support to approved medical tourism service providers
- Seeing the huge potential in the sector, the (Indian) government has
also started issuing M (medical) visa to the medical patients, and MX
visas to the spouse accompanying him, which are valid for a year.
200,000 medical tourists visited India last year, and the figure will
grow by 50% this year
- Schedule commercial airlines like Lufthansa now carry patients in
special
compartments called Patient Transport Compartments (PTC).
These are mobile transport units on-board Boeing 747 aircrafts, that
include a stretcher, seats for doctors and medical flight assistant,
medical equipment, drugs, oxygen system and material for medical
treatment. This has revolutionized aeromedical transport on long-haul
flights
- The Indian hospitals industry is facing acute shortage of trained
personnel, ranging from doctors, nurses, technicians and even healthcare
administrators. This paves the way for new players to establish training
& education centres to provide trained healthcare personnel. The
emergence of private hospitals is likely to change the state of
healthcare in India. Additionally, technological innovations in service
delivery, increased affordability, improved service quality and
government policy initiatives are other factors expected
to improve
the sector.. |
