NRIs fly to india for tooth extraction..!?

The opportunity to get high-quality treatment at a low cost is increasing in India's medical sector. Technological advancements are allowing hospitals to offer world-class services at competitive prices. This makes india an ideal destination for those seeking both complex procedures and preventive healthcare. However, the pace of technology adoption is not without its challenges. Concerns about the cost of implementing advanced technologies and data privacy issues are rife. Small healthcare providers may continue to struggle, which could inadvertently create new divisions as some hospitals thrive and others lag behind. However, medical tourism facilities are expanding in India. India’s reputation for providing healthcare services at a very low cost compared to Western countries is attracting not only regional patients but also international visitors.
Along with traditional treatments, wellness tourism is also on the rise. For this, the indian government’s new policies are promoting medical tourism by streamlining visa processes and improving standards across medical facilities. In this regard, a post by someone on X is currently going viral. Rakesh Krishnan simha posted on X that my friend’s wife needed a root canal treatment in New Zealand. But the clinic there had told her that she would have to pay $2,500 (over Rs. 2 lakh) for the treatment. Hence, they decided to go to India. Accordingly, the friend’s family left for india during the off-season for $900 (around Rs. 75,000). Subsequently, in a hospital in his hometown in Haryana, they underwent the same treatment at a cost of 50 dollars (about Rs. 4,000) in the best quality. He mentioned that this incident shows how high the medical costs are in Western countries and that there is an environment where quality treatment can be obtained at a low cost in India. Also, this is due to the shortage of hospitals and doctors in Western countries, that is, due to the high cost of medical education, there are fewer doctors. Without medical insurance, the public has to spend more. However, because in countries like india, it is possible to get a skilled doctor at a low cost, many people follow 'medical tourism' to reduce their medical expenses. That is, through medical tourism, foreign patients are getting quality medical services at a low cost in countries like india, Thailand, and Malaysia.
