India is one of the fastest growing medical destinations in the world. It is estimated that the
medical tourism rate in India will have an expected annual growth of 30% by the end of 2015.
That would mean, that the ground-breaking medical infrastructures and facilities that India has
been proposing, is gradually (yet very effectively) having an immense inflow of foreigners. Why
this attraction, you ask?
The most evident reason that one could derive would be low cost, and one would not be all that
wrong in thinking so, but it is more than just that! It is the growth of India in terms of its
technology and its standards.
Indian medical institutions are equipped with medical and therapeutic procedures that are
combined with world class facilities making it an ideal location for cost effective and high
quality medical solutions that are of international standards.
A city like Bangalore would be at the centre of this attraction because of its social scenario it
is a salad bowl! People from different cultures come to Bangalore with disparate mother tongues.
Thus the only common language, English has become quite widespread; the foreigners would not
find much language barrier in Bangalore. Moreover, Bangalore has some of the latest equipment
and the cost for medical treatment here is comparatively cheaper which makes it a hub for
medical tourism.

dramatic social and cultural change with the advent of liberalization and expansion of the
information technology and business process outsourcing industries in India. IT companies
