Excellent Medical Treatment + Tour of India <= Cost of treatment in The US/Canada/UK/Europe
India has been steadily gaining its ground as the preferred location for medical tourism. While significant cost differences exist between India and the USA, UK and other developed countries, the quality of medical treatment is definitely another determining factor.

Quality and Qualification of Indian DoctorsThe quality of hospital service delivery and the qualification of doctors is a prime consideration while choosing the destination for your elective procedure. In India, you get the best of both these things. Indian doctors are highly qualified and the Indian medical education system ensures that even a fresh graduate doctor would have a very clear and substantial understanding of the subject. In additon to this, is the general nature of Indians - caring, softspoken and attentive.
In the USA, 1 out of 20 practicing doctors are Indians or Americans of Indian origin. Today Indian doctors are found in almost all parts of the world and they are contributing greatly to the treatment of patients all across North America, Great Britain, East Africa and South East Asian. Indian doctors have found a home in the medical marketplace, where they are a mainstay in primary patient care in urban and rural areas. Statistics say, Indians make up roughly 20 percent of the "International Medical Graduates" - or foreign-trained doctors - operating in the U.S.
Registered Nurses of Indian origin are also in great demand in North America and chances are that some of you may have encountered an Indian nurse or a doctor at some point in time.
The Indian medical establishments that DoctorInde has made alliances with have excellent infrastructure complete with the latest equipment required for any treatment. The right combination of skillful doctors, caring nursing staff, and state of the art facilities along with fluency in English make India a winning combination.
