We have sufficient
reason to believe that Arion is the first to react immediately after
publication of report , by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII),
and McKinsey consultants, to look out for the alternative accommodations for
the medical tourist (
foreign patients ) flocking to India.
The reason could be be price
advantage or what so ever, in sudden
increase in number by the foreign patients those who chose to outsource their
treatment in India , now depended those who are looking for budget
accommodation ( unable to afford the cost of luxury hotels & need to stay
for a longer time ) will no more
face any problem & would be accommodated in paying gust accommodations.
The
credit in sudden rise in medical tourist( crossed
150,000 & continuously
increasing at the 15 % per annum ) could
not only be given only to price advantage only but some of the institution are
giving giving world class class
treatments to our medical
tourist.
Some of the renowned
institutions well known world class
class
treatments in Cardiac, Orthopedic,
Cosmetic/Elective, Weight Loss, Neurological, Dental, Ophthalmologic.
