What could be the reasons behind a number of foreigners visiting Indian hospitals?

Solution

Since 1990, owing to liberalisation measures many non-resident Indians and industrial and pharmaceutical companies have set up state-of-the-art super-speciality hospitals to attract the India's rich and medical tourists. The foreigners come to India for surgeries, liver transplants, dental and even cosmetic care. Our health services combine latest medical technologies with qualified professionals and its cost is very less for foreigners as compared to costs of similar health care or medical treatment in their countries. They come to India for treatment and tourism purposes or both. The cost of treatment in foreign countries is very high. Many foreigners come for Ayurvedic treatment. Their number is increasing 15 percent each year. Experts predict that by 2012 A.D. India could earn more than 100 billion rupees through such medical tourism. The health infrastructure can be upgraded to lure more foreigners to India.
