Press Release Summary = Comparatively less cost and better quality of treatment plus
nil waiting time are attracting Scottish patients to get them cured in Indian
hospitals.

Press Release Body = Medical tourism is booming in India, with Scottish patients
flocking towards Indian hospitals. The two most prominent reasons why they find
India the most suitable destination for various treatments include relatively low
cost, and extremely low waiting time. Highly effective treatment offered in Indian
hospitals and an opportunity to enjoy an exotic vacation at popular tourist
destinations of India like Delhi, Kerala, Goa, Mumbai, and Bangalore to name a few
are the other significant reasons behind this.

According to NHS (National Health Service), some travel groups in Scotland have
started to prepare health tour packages for the patients willing to travel to India
for treatment. Globe Health Tours, which has been providing amusement for stag
weekends, has already dispatched 30 patients to Indian hospitals, where
they’ll have to pay only a fraction of price charged by the UK clinics.

NHS’ waiting list for a few procedures is still above 6-months and private
clinics in the country (Scotland) charge patients nearly 10,000 pounds for
treatments such as knee or hip replacements. However, those ready to go to India can
have the same operations done for below 3500 pounds.
