India is fast emerging as one of the most sought after medical destinations in Asia for offshore patients.

People from across the globe have been visiting India for rejuvenation packages from across the globe. Chennai and Vellore were once metaphors for the best in medicine, but catered mostly to Indians from other states. Later, Kerala created a brand for itself through Ayurveda and people from other countries trickled in. Now, people from foreign countries visit India, not just for rejuvenation, but for holistic medical treatment.

In South India, Bangalore & Mangalore, is emerging as the healthcare destination of choice. KMC Hospital has received and treated patients from Tanzania, Malawi, Nigeria, Pakistan and European countries. There is an increasing trend of patients coming into Mangalore from across the globe.

The highlight of South India’s medical facilities and skills are in the areas of Cardiology, Cancer, Minimal Invasive Surgery, Joint Replacement, Kidney, Neurosurgery, Plastic Surgery, Dental treatment and Pediatrics. State-of-the-art facilities coupled with significantly low treatment costs when compared to the West, makes medical tourism to Mangalore an ideal proposition.
