Did you know that outsourcing was taking place in the arena of clinical dentistry too? India has been witnessing a steady influx of medical tourists from countries such as U.S, U.K and Gulf who are clubbing their holidays along with dental treatment since the cost of the high end dental care is pretty low as compared to other Asian countries such as Thailand, Indonesia or Singapore.
This is expected to generate employment for around a million people by the year 2012 and since India offers dental treatments at just one seventh of the costs of the developed nations, the medical tourism in India is expected to see around two billion people visit India by 2012. This will also lead to opportunities for other fields such as Health Insurance, Medical Value Travel, Medical Infrastructure, Medical Textiles and Training and Education too. It is expected to contribute by around 6.05% to the GDP. With its world class facilities India is expected to become a global healthcare hub and earn a good name in the field of international medicine too.
