Last September, I came to know about Elixir and asked them about the face lift procedure and cost in India. In no time, I got the information I needed and was referred to Max Hospital, New Delhi where I had a successful operation in November. Thank You Elixir!

Manpower

India has a Large pool of doctors (approx 600000), nurses & paramedics with required specialization and expertise and the language advantage (English speaking skills). The medical education system caters to the everincreasing demand for the delivery of the quality health care services all over the country.

The Price Advantage

For long promoted for its cultural and scenic beauty, India is now being put up on international map as a heaven for those seeking quality and affordable healthcare. With 50 million Americans without health insurance and the waiting lists for state-run facilities often endless in the UK, Canada and Europe, foreigners are increasingly flocking to India because it offers quality treatment at a fifth of the cost abroad.

In India, complicated surgical procedures are being done at 1/10th the cost as compare with the procedures in the developed countries. Not only this, the hospitals are well equipped to handle the data and information through computerized Hospital Information Systems. The hospitalization and the procedural price advantage also is supported by Lower Medication cost.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.

Tourism Attraction

India has a 5000 year old civilization and is known for its cultural and religious diversity with Diverse geographical landmarks. The traditional arts and crafts add to its appeal as a tourists favourite. Along with this Indians enjoy freedom, vibrant democracy and women empowerment.

Alternative Therapy

India offers not just treatment but spiritual and mental healing as well. India needs to club together a couple of 'pathies' because it has a very strong base of alternative healing therapies like yoga, naturopathy, ayurveda Kerala’s health retreats,etc.

No Waiting

In addition to the increasingly top class medical care, a big draw for foreign patients is also the very minimal or hardly any waitlist as is common in European or American hospitals. hospitals now are starting to attract foreign patients from industrialized countries, and especially from Britain, U.S.A, Canada, where patients are becoming fed up with long waits for elective surgery under overstretched government health plans.
