Ex Vice President of Ethiopia chooses India for his and wife’s treatment

Medical Tourism

Medical Tourism is not an “Unheard of” thing anymore! There are high chances that you would have come across the term in one or the other news.

A few years ago, medical tourism meant rich and wealthy would travel to the United States or the United Kingdom or Europe for their medical treatment. F

Fast forward to 2015 and there has been a paradigm shift where more than 460,000 people from different countries traveled to India for their surgery and treatment.

Not only Medical Tourism to India is on the rise, but it also interests people from the United States and Westerners, commoners, and elite from across the world, who are now choosing India as their preferred medical tourism destination.

Mr. X, Ex-Vice President of Ethiopia and his wife had almost planned to visit England for their medical treatment when they were accosted by a close friend who advised them to visit India instead of London.

This friend had incidentally been to both India and UK for his medical treatment and in no ambiguous words, he told them that he liked India better. Not only was India much cheaper than the UK, but it was also the quality of healthcare services and the care he received in India, that he was most impressed with.

His treatment was done at a JCI accredited facility, the International arm of Joint Commission, formerly known as Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, JCAHO, which accredits healthcare organizations in the United States.

The organization ensures that the infrastructure and quality of care at JCI accredited facilities are at par with International standards.

Mr. Larry* on his friend’s recommendation contacted several hospitals in India and was amazed by the responses he got. However, he was also very perplexed and not sure of which hospital to choose since he had absolutely no clue about the health services in India and sitting so far away not sure which option was the best for him. The second major issue was convincing his wife to get the treatment done in India.

“My wife was quite skeptical and wary of traveling to India initially and I had to cajole her to travel with me. She had numerous concerns and I didn’t have answers to any,” remembers the vice-president, of the time they were planning their visit.

It was again his friend’s advice that came handy, who coaxed him to contact a medical tourism company that he had chosen previously for his treatment.

“I must say that I was extremely satisfied with the answers and details I got from IndiCure. They are very swift and precise in their communication and professionally up-to-date to provide their clients with the necessary information and advice so that one can make prudent choices of institutions best suited to cater to their specific health concerns.” reminisces Mr. Larry.

IndiCure made the end to end arrangements for both of them, right from picking them up at the airport, arranging their consultations with the doctors, treatment, stay at the hotel and hospital of their choice and getting the discharge summary and all notes for their treatment.

“Once we reached India, we were pleasantly surprised and really proud of our decision. The healthcare services that we received were second to none, the hospital world class and doctors amazingly knowledgeable and helpful! I must also appreciate IndiCure, which is highly organized and staffed with competent, dedicated and devoted persons committed to executing their duties around the clock so that their clients get all the services and assistance they need.” Says a very satisfied vice-president, after completion of his treatment.

India is already counted amongst the top healthcare destinations across the world now and is preferred alike by people from all walks of life. India receives more than 6 lakh patients annually, and a large number of them are Caucasians from countries like UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc, besides a notable number from African countries and SAARC nations. The easy availability of Medical visa and E-Medical visa on arrival facility has further strengthened India’s position in the field of Medical tourism.
