India has been considered a leading player in promoting medical healthcare facilitation as an industry for some time now. With the best resources and a host of competent doctors, it has become one of the most favored healthcare destinations for a plethora of medical procedures.

What is most attractive about this phenomenon and has been a key driver is the low waiting time treatments in India; added to this is the cost of treatment, which is less than 60% of a comparable cost of treatment in countries like the US or the UK. Procedures ranging from cardiac surgery to renal transplants, gastric bypass, laparoscopic gastric banding and joint replacements are some of the treatments which prove to be very cost effective when carried out in India.

India is at par with international standards in medical technology, infrastructure, equipment and facilities; and the medical professionals are amongst the most well-trained and experienced in their field of specialisation.

Doctors in India have postgraduate degrees and training that are accepted internationally. Another advantage that Indian doctors have over their counterparts in other countries is the high volume of patients that they treat; as a result of which they are more experienced than a lot of their counterparts in other countries. Doctors and nurses in India are fluent in English and therefore communication is, in most cases, made simpler.

Building on the world focus on India as a medical treatment destination, the Sai Medical Group is promoting Indian healthcare on a global scale at the upcoming Medical Tourism Convention being held in California.

The event is organized by the World Medical Tourism and Global Health Congress and is scheduled to last from September 9th to 12th, 2008. The sole intention of the event is to promote the inclusion of medical tourism as part of health insurance plans of various international companies. The convention, dedicated to medical tourism, will have attendees from over 40 countries and will feature over 40 professional speakers from all around the world.

According to the sources, the Sai Medical Group is largest corporate entity in the Indian Medical Tourism Industry. It is also India's most experienced and self-sufficient company that offers various options for those seeking immediate, cost effective private medical treatment in India at the best hospitals along with offering various options for affordable high quality accommodation and top of the line retreats and spas.

The management of the Sai Medical Group aims at representing the Indian Healthcare industry as well as various Indian corporate hospitals. It also aims to bring business to the Indian Medical Tourism sector through this convention. With the continuous effort of various healthcare facilitators, we hope to put India on the global map as one of the best medical tourist destinations.
