Like the IT industry push in late 80s and early 90s, merging medical expertise and tourism has became Indian government’s policy from this year's budget. The world has seen and experienced how effective the IT education policy became while it grew to catapult Indian IT companies and professionals to the pinnacle of contribution to US industry and economy.  A similar wave is ready to sweep the ailing and deprived in America by India providing economical, affordable, excellent quality surgical treatments as ‘main entrée’ along with added thrill of tourism as an exciting ‘side order’.  

American press has this to say:

"In a corporate hospital, once the door is closed
you could be in a hospital in America.” -- YaleGlobal

India is promoting the "high-tech healing" of its private healthcare sector as a tourist attraction. In the last three years, India has attracted nearly 60,000 overseas patients.

According to news reports quoted by radio personality Clark Howard AM 750 , the number of people willing to undertake travel to India for a much needed surgery because they either do not have insurance or have limited insurance coverage is increasing. This is called “medical tourism”. One man recently profiled in a Washington Post story traveled from North Carolina to India for much-needed heart bypass surgery, He had no insurance and could not afford the $ 200,000 bill that the American hospital wanted. The hospital in Durham also wanted $ 50,000 deposit upfront.

He couldn’t afford any of it and so he traveled to India where he had a vacation and the tricky surgery for about $ 10,000. There is a fear that the quality of surgery is not as high but so far there have been no problems. And can problems or complications not occur here in the US?
