Dental Care in India

There are several Dental Care packages available. However, these will be based on the requirements of
the person and his holiday needs.
Please find below a small cost comparison of dental treatment procedures between USA and India. There
is a huge difference between the pricing (about 7/8 times when we speak
of Top-end dentists).

Need for Medical Tourism

Medical tourism can be broadly defined as provision of 'cost effective' private medical care in
collaboration with the tourism industry for patients needing surgical and other forms of specialized
treatment. This process is being facilitated by the corporate sector involved in medical care as well as
the tourism industry - both private and public.
Medical or Health tourism has become a common form of vacationing, and covers a broad spectrum of
medical services. It mixes leisure, fun and relaxation together with wellness and healthcare.
The idea of the health holiday is to offer you an opportunity to get away from your daily routine and
come into a different relaxing surrounding. Here you can enjoy being close to the beach and the
mountains. At the same time you are able to receive an orientation that will help you improve your life in
terms of your health and general wellbeing. It is like rejuvenation and clean-up process on all levels physical, mental and emotional.

Many people from the developed world come to India for the rejuvenation
promised by yoga and Ayurvedic massage, but few consider it a destination
for hip replacement or brain surgery. However, a nice blend of top-class
medical expertise at attractive prices is helping a growing number of Indian
corporate hospitals lure foreign patients, including from developed nations
such as the UK and the US.
As more and more patients from Europe, the US and other affluent nations with high Medicare costs look
for effective options, India is pitted against Thailand, Singapore and some other Asian countries, which
have good hospitals, salubrious climate and tourist destinations. While Thailand and Singapore with their
advanced medical facilities and built-in medical tourism options have been drawing foreign patients of
the order of a couple of lakhs per annum, the rapidly expanding Indian corporate hospital sector has
been able to get a few thousands for treatment.
But, things are going to change drastically in favour of India, especially in view of the high quality
expertise of medical professionals, backed by the fast improving equipment and nursing facilities, and
above all, the cost-effectiveness of the package.

Growth of the Medical Tourism Industry

The countries where medical tourism is being actively promoted include Greece, South Africa, Jordan,
India, Malaysia, Philippines and Singapore. India is a recent entrant into medical tourism. According to a

study by McKinsey and the Confederation of Indian Industry, medical tourism in India could become a $1
billion business by 2012. The report predicts that: "By 2012, if medical tourism were to reach 25 per
cent of revenues of private up-market players, up to Rs 10,000 crore will be added to the revenues of
these players". The Indian government predicts that India's $17-billion-a-year health-care industry could
grow 13 per cent in each of the next six years, boosted by medical tourism, which industry watchers say
is growing at 30 per cent annually.

In India, the Apollo group alone has so far treated 95,000 international
patients, many of whom are of Indian origin. Apollo has been a forerunner
in medical tourism in India and attracts patients from Southeast Asia,
Africa, and the Middle East. The group has tied up with hospitals in
Mauritius, Tanzania, Bangladesh and Yemen besides running a hospital in
Sri Lanka, and managing a hospital in Dubai.
Another corporate group running a chain of hospitals, Escorts, claims it has doubled its number of
overseas patients - from 675 in 2000 to nearly 1,200 this year. Recently, the Ruby Hospital in Kolkata
signed a contract with the British insurance company, BUPA. The management hopes to get British
patients from the queue in the National Health Services soon. Some estimates say that foreigners
account for 10 to 12 per cent of all patients in top Mumbai hospitals despite roadblocks like poor aviation
connectivity, poor road infrastructure and absence of uniform quality standards.
Analysts say that as many as 150,000 medical tourists came to India last year. However, the current
market for medical tourism in India is mainly limited to patients from the Middle East and South Asian
economies. Some claim that the industry would flourish even without Western medical tourists. AfroAsian people spend as much as $20 billion a year on health care outside their countries - Nigerians alone
spend an estimated $1 billion a year. Most of this money would be spent in Europe and America, but it is
hoped that this would now be increasingly directed to developing countries with advanced facilities.

Promotion of Medical Tourism

the key "selling points" of the medical tourism industry are its "cost effectiveness" and its combination
with the attractions of tourism. The latter also uses the ploy of selling the "exotica" of the countries
involved as well as the packaging of health care with traditional therapies and treatment methods.
Price advantage is, of course, a major selling point. The slogan, thus is, "First World treatment' at Third
World prices". The cost differential across the board is huge: only a tenth and sometimes even a
sixteenth of the cost in the West. Open-heart surgery could cost up to $70,000 in Britain and up to
$150,000 in the US; in India's best hospitals it could cost between $3,000 and $10,000. Knee surgery
(on both knees) costs 350,000 rupees ($7,700) in India; in Britain this costs 10,000 ($16,950), more
than twice as much. Dental, eye and cosmetic surgeries in Western countries cost three to four times as
much as in India.
The price advantage is however offset today for patients from the developed countries by concerns
regarding standards, insurance coverage and other infrastructure. This is where the tourism and medical
industries are trying to pool resources, and also putting pressure on the government. We shall turn to
their implications later.
In India the strong tradition of traditional systems of health care in Kerala, for example, is utilised.
Kerala Ayurveda centres have been established at multiple locations in various metro cities, thus
highlighting the advantages of Ayurveda in health management. The health tourism focus has seen
Kerala participate in various trade shows and expos wherein the advantages of this traditional form of
medicine are showcased.
A generic problem with medical tourism is that it reinforces the medicalised view of health care. By
promoting the notion that medical services can be bought off the shelf from the lowest priced provider

anywhere in the globe, it also takes away the pressure from the government to provide comprehensive
health care to all its citizens. It is a deepening of the whole notion of health care that is being pushed
today which emphasises on technology and private enterprise.
The important question here is for whom is 'cost effective' services to be provided. Clearly the services
are "cost effective" for those who can pay and in addition come from countries where medical care costs
are exorbitant - because of the failure of the government to provide affordable medical care. It thus
attracts only a small fraction that can pay for medical care and leaves out large sections that are denied
medical care but cannot afford to pay. The demand for cost effective specialized care is coming from the
developed countries where there has been a decline in public spending and rise in life expectancy and
non-communicable diseases that requires specialist services.

Medical Tourism & Public Health Services

Medical tourism is going to only deal with large specialist hospitals run by
corporate entities. It is a myth that the revenues earned by these corporates
will partly revert back to finance the public sector. There is ample evidence to show that these hospitals
have not honoured the conditionalitys for receiving government subsidies - in terms of treatment of a
certain proportion of in patients and out patients free of cost. If anything, increased demand on private
hospitals due to medical tourism may result in their expansion. If they expand then they will need more
professionals, which means that they will try to woo doctors from the public sector. Even today the top
specialists in corporate hospitals are senior doctors drawn the public sector. Medical tourism is likely to
further devalue and divert personnel from the public sector rather than
strengthen them.

Urban concentration of health care providers is a well-known fact - 59 per

cent of India's practitioners (73 per cent allopathic) are located in cities,
and especially metropolitan ones. Medical tourism promotes an "internal
brain drain" with more health professionals being drawn to large urban
centres, and within them, to large corporate run specialty institutions.
Medical tourism is going to result in a number of demands and changes in the areas of financing and
regulations. There will be a greater push for encouraging private insurance tied to systems of
accreditation of private hospitals. There is a huge concern in the developed countries about the quality
of care and clinical expertise in developing countries and this will push for both insurance and regulatory
regimes. The potential for earning revenues through medical tourism will become an important
argument for private hospitals demanding more subsidies from the government in the long run. In
countries like India, the corporate private sector has already received considerable subsidies in the form
of land, reduced import duties for medical equipment etc. Medical tourism will only further legitimise
their demands and put pressure on the government to subsidise them even more. This is worrying
because the scarce resources available for health will go into subsidising the corporate sector. It thus has
serious consequences for equity and cost of services and raises a very fundamental question: why
should developing countries be subsidising the health care of developed countries?

Facts & Figures

India offers world-class healthcare that costs substantially less than those in developed countries, using
the same technology delivered by competent Specialists attaining similar success rates.
If a liver transplant costs in the range of 137,867 USD - 160,845 USD in Europe and double that in the

US, a few Indian hospitals have the wherewithal to do it in around 34,466 USD - 45,955 USD. Similarly,
if a heart surgery in the US costs about Rs 45,955 USD, a leading Indian hospital will do it in roughly
4,595 USD.
