Kerala is not only a beautiful destination in Southern India known for its scenic beaches and serene backwaters.
Of late Kerala has gained international attention for Medical Tourism and is becoming a popular international
medical tourism destination.
Health and medical tourism is perceived as one of the fastest growing segments in marketing ‘Destination India’
today. While this area has so far been relatively unexplored, we now find that not only the ministry of tourism,
government of India, but also the various state tourism boards and even the private sector consisting of travel
agents, tour operators, hotel companies and other accommodation providers are all eying health and medical
tourism as a segment with tremendous potential for future growth.
Kerala is famous for its alternative medical therapies such as Ayurveda, which help to rejuvenate and revitalize the body. What many tourists have now discovered is that Kerala has a pool of trained doctors and nurses and an excellent network of hospitals that offer international standard treatments at very affordable prices. Previously Indians working abroad, such as residents of Kerala working in the Persian Gulf countries, would return to India for medical treatment. Now International patients too have realized the advantages of traveling to Kerala and the medical tourism industry has begun to take off in a big way.
Faced with exorbitant fees for procedures such as cardiac surgery, dentistry and cosmetic surgery in their home countries, patients from the West and the Middle East have begun looking at India and Kerala in particular.Indian doctors have established themselves as highly skilled and conscientious caregivers worldwide. Many doctors who have trained or worked abroad have returned to India to work here. Their reputation has led to the growth of the Medical Tourism industry in Kerala. Kerala Travel Tourism offers tour packages that combine medical treatment with a restful holiday in Kerala India. The world-class hospital facilities, pre and post-operative care and pleasant climate make your medical treatment and recovery in Kerala a positive experience.
