QUALITY HEALTHCARE MINUS THE PINCH
India on west's health watch. For those who don't know this already, Indian Medical Tourism is in the news because they offer the same facilities that those in the US or Europe do, but at a fraction of the cost. And about 50 million Americans without Health insurance and endless waiting lists for state run facilities in the UK, Canada and Europe countries, the interest couldn't have come at a better time.

India is not only cheaper but the waiting time is almost NIL. This is due to the outburst of the private sector, which comprises of hospitals and clinics with the latest technology and best practitioners.
