Health insurance for India treatment

Wed, 30 May 2007

Figures indicate that as many as 150,000 people from 55 different countries worldwide make the trip to India each year to receive medical treatment, but experts indicate that the real figure is much higher.

People, both with health insurance and without, make the trip to India to have medical treatment because it is a fraction of the cost of the same treatment in Europe and other parts of the world. In the UK, medical tourism is a boom, with ten separate medical tourism providers in the UK alone.

These tourist agencies send people to India and arrange medical treatment on their behalf. Patients can tie in their treatment with a holiday. Hospital groups in India have urged UK health insurance companies to sell low-cost private medical insurance policies in which the patients are treated in India.
