There is no doubt about the fact that medical tourism can offer some incredible benefits to patients from developed countries. The growth of medical tourism industry is dependent on a number of factors. The high price of medical treatments in US, UK and some of the other developed countries is a factor.<\/p>\n

Another factor is long waiting time, which makes patients wait for years before they can get a surgery in their homeland. Tired of the long queues and exorbitant prices, patients are comparing medical tourism packages and destinations. But, medical tourism can also prove to be risky if you do not conduct proper research and take into account the quality of medical services offered abroad. Some of the medical tourism destinations are definitely more reliable than others.<\/p>\n

India<\/strong> is moving ahead of the rest <\/strong><\/p>\n

Medical tourists, who want to get low cost but advanced healthcare treatments along with a trip to exotic locales, should consider India as an option. The number of medical tourists who visit India every year is increasing in leaps and bounds. In the year, 2002, CII-McKinsey report had projected that India will earn Rs 10,000 Crore revenue by 2012 and 20,000 Crore by the year 2018. The Indian government is also taking effective measures to attract more foreigners and offer lucrative medical care and tourism opportunities for them.<\/p>\n

According to the estimates made by Indian government, the foreign patients can get medical facilities at 80% less charges than in US. For example a heart surgery in the US will cost something around $30,000 in US but the same procedure will cost just $6,000 in India.<\/p>\n

Recently, the Indian Union Minister has announced that $6.5 billion will be invested strategically for the development of medical tourism industry of India. The money will be used to build budget hotels and low cost hospitals for the patients who visit India from other countries. The investment will definitely bring positive returns because the healthcare industry of India is growing at a rate of 30%.<\/p>

Thailand<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Thailand<\/p>\n

Thailand is another popular medical tourism destination which has wooed millions of medical tourists and restored their health. Medical tourists can get a wide range of medical facilities in Thailand. The Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok is one of the best hospitals around the world which has received JCI accreditation. The 22-storey hospital has got over 554 beds and 30 specialty centers for addressing different health issues and diseases. Around 40% of its patients are foreigners who visit Thailand for getting affordable medical facilities from 190 countries around the world.<\/p>\n

Singapore<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Singapore<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are more than 13 internationally recognized hospitals in Singapore and almost all of them have received JCI accreditation. Many of the private hospitals in Singapore are affiliated with highly acclaimed international institutions. Singapore offers high quality medical facilities but spends less than 4% GDP on the development and maintenance of healthcare industry.<\/p>\n

Brazil<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Cosmetic\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

When it comes to cosmetic surgery, Brazil is the strongest competition for Thailand and other cosmetic surgery destinations. There are more than 4,500 licensed cosmetic surgeons in Brazil who are capable of undertaking a wide variety of cosmetic surgeries. Butt lift surgery in Brazil is famous all over the world.<\/p>\n

There are several medical tourism destinations around the world but only few make the cut. For high quality medical treatments at affordable price, the medical tourists should do some research before making their decisions.
