India Medical Tourism Show 2009
23 & 24 May 2009, Harrow Leisure Centre, London
India - the world's preferred healthcare destination.
With world class healthcare professionals, nursing care and treatment cost almost one-sixth of that in the developed countries, many foreign nationals are tempted to make a trip to India. Last year alone, around 1.5 lakh medical tourists have visited India. According to experts their numbers are growing at 30 % per annum and by 2012, medical tourism will generate $ 2.3 billion annually. According to a CII-McKinsey study, medical tourism can contribute Rs 5,000-10,000 crore additional revenue for up-market tertiary hospitals by 2012. Physicians from India are considered among the best in the world
The concept of medical tourism is gaining significance in India with both Indian and foreign insurance companies looking at India as a prospective healthcare destination, with corporate hospitals which can compete globally.
India Medical Tourism Show 09 in London is a one-stop information exhibition for learning about the variety of medical services & facilities that Europeans and NRIs’ can undergo. The participants will get an opportunity to meet Europeans, NRIs and other expats in UK who wish to go for medical treatment in India and personally interact with medical professionals and hospital administrators, healthcare consultants, leading doctors, medical tour operators etc. for long term association.
What is Medical Tourism?
Patients going to a different country for either urgent or elective medical procedure are fast becoming a worldwide, multibillion-dollar industry.
The reasons why patients travel for treatment vary. Many medical tourists from the United States are seeking treatment at a quarter or sometimes even a 10th of the cost at home. From Canada, it is often people who are frustrated by long waiting hours. In Great Britain, the patient can't wait either for treatment in the National Health Service or he can't afford to see a physician in private practice. For others, becoming a medical tourist is a chance to combine a tropical vacation with an elective or plastic surgery
Why is India most suitable?
India has one of the best qualified professionals in each and every field, and this fact has now been realized the world over. India has the most competent doctors and world class Medical Facilities. With most competitive charges for treatment, India is a very lucrative destination for people wanting to undergo treatment for certain medical problems who do not need an emergency treatment.
Indian corporate hospitals excel in cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery, joint replacement, orthopedic surgery, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, transplants and urology to name a few. The various specialties covered are Neurology, Neurosurgery, Oncology, Ophthalmology, Rheumatology, Endocrinology, ENT, Pediatrics, Pediatric Surgery, Pediatric Neurology, Urology, Nephrology, Dermatology, Dentistry, Plastic Surgery, Gynecology, Pulmonology, Psychiatry, General Medicine & General Surgery

Why IMT Show 09 in UK?
Significant cost differences exist between U.K. and India when it comes to medical treatment. Accompanied with the cost are waiting times which exist in U.K. for patients which range from 3 months to over a year. Patients can't wait for treatment by the National Health Service but also can't afford to see a physician in private practice. For others, becoming a medical tourist is a chance to combine a tropical vacation with an elective or plastic surgery.
NRIs and Europeans are getting attracted to private medical facilities in India that are available for a fraction of what they would cost abroad.
Even with airfare, the cost of coming to India for surgery can be markedly cheaper, and the quality of service is often better than that found in the United States and UK
