Dignitaries from all over the world flocking to the country not to experience its rich cultural heritage; not even to invest and discuss business projects but to get treated..... How does that sound? Too good to be true? Not exactly! Indian healthcare set up is in the process of becoming the cynosure of all eyes. Pakistani human rights activist, Asma Jahangir and Bangladeshi jute minister, Abdul Latif Siddique getting themselves treated at Delhi bears this out with aplomb. Siddique was actually referred to some hospital in Singapore by Lab Aid Hospital of Dhaka. But, he preferred coming to India to take treatment from Dr. Seth", said Dr. Vijay. Dr. Seth is one of the most experienced cardiac surgeons in the world and has performed more than 40,000 Angiograms and 15,000 Angioplasties in his career, for which he has received recognition in the 'Limca Book of Records'.
