Why is medical care cheaper in India? Are standards of quality compromised?
No, the standards of medical facilities are not compromised. The difference in cost is due to India being at a different stage economically. The costs for malpractice insurance and other related charges levied on medical facility operators in the western world are much higher. The patient naturally has to bear these costs as part of their medical fee. Those in developing nations such as India do not have to pay exorbitant amounts. As a result the bill is slashed to quite an extent. As far as quality is concerned, we are working in close coordination with Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, which is recognized by JCI (Joint Commission International) USA. The hospital has world-class facilities as well as highly skilled doctors. Exactly the same instruments, technology, and equipment for diagnosis and treatments is used as in the west. You dont have to compromise on anything.
