Medical Facilities

Image result for aiims HOSPITAL delhi

Medical facilities in India operate on the - you get what you pay for model. Some state run hospitals are well maintained but even Indians who can afford a better alternative generally shy away from them. Most government hospitals are not maintained well, and this could be the reason why private hospitals in India are very expensive.

Major private hospitals in India are well known and should surely be on your insurance companies list of approved hospitals. Worthy of mention here are the Apollo Hospitals group (many cities), Manipal Hospital and Heart Foundation (Bangalore), Escorts in Delhi and Breachcandy and Hinduja hospitals in Mumbai besides many others.

Private hospitals and medical facilities in India are comparable to the best in the world and people come from all over the world including the UK and the United States for surgeries because of long waiting lists in their country and India's reputation as an excellent medical destination.

In fact many tourists combine healthcare (including dental treatments) and tourism and the concept has come to be known as - medical tourism.

If you do need a hospital in any city you are in, ask for Mission Hospitals as they're commonly known here. If available, they should be your first choice. Nothing modern or fancy. Just old world charm and good doctors and treatment. Very affordable. 

Prominent among them is the Christian Medical College and Hospital, Vellore (Tamil Nadu). Founded in 1900 by American missionary Dr. Ida Scudder, it is ranked among the top five in the country.

Note that treatment at private hospitals in India is very expensive, so make sure your medical insurance covers it.
