Dental Tourism India

In the present world where globalization and the internet have enabled wider interaction, contacts , information dissemination and easier travel, the terms ‘medical tourism’ and ‘dental tourism’ are rapidly becoming familiar to most households in many first-world countries. It is an increasingly popular practice to travel to another country to obtain health care.

While in ancient times people undertook arduous travel to seek medical treatment from reputed physicians, it was a continuing practice more recently, in the 20th century of wealthy patients from developing countries travelling to first-world countries such as the USA or Germany for treatment.

However, nowadays the term ‘medical tourism’ is exclusively associated with patients travelling to developing countries, such as India, Thailand, Hungary etc., which offer not just low-cost and high-quality treatment but also the opportunity of combining it with holiday in a popular tourist destination.

Some factors which have contributed to the growth of medical tourism are:

•	There has been a significant increase of high quality state of art health services in developing countries with many doctors with education and skills matching the best anywhere in the world.
•	Medical facilities have been built that match or even surpass in quality some “western” hospitals and health centers;
•	Treatment costs often several times lower than the typical “western” cost of medical treatment;
•	Very often, patients in developed countries face long waiting lists and high treatment costs. Furthermore the elderly population needs increasingly more health care which is often not available in time and at affordable costs.
•	The Internet has made acquiring information and making contacts with overseas doctors, clinics and hospitals easier and developments in the airline industry have enabled easier and cheaper travel.

India is rapidly emerging as a global center for health tourism. Well equipped hospitals and clinics, doctors and dentists with world class skills and supporting infrastructure, supported by a well established pharmaceutical industry is a very attractive option for tourists from North America, Europe, Australia and the Far Eastern countries. Clubbing a visit to India for sightseeing with medical/dental treatment provides an opportunity for overseas visitors to take advantage of high quality low cost treatment in India.

Many residents in developed countries have realized that rather than undergoing a prolonged treatment in their own country for which one pays a small (and sometimes not so small) fortune, they can save some of the costs and still be able to pay not only for the treatment but also for a week or two of a tropical vacation for themselves and their family.

Gupta Dental Care in Pune is a prime example of a dental clinic which gets your dentistry costs down by over 60 to 75%, provides the best treatment and permits you to enjoy a holiday as well and maybe even having some money left over- This is the reality of Medical / Dental tourism in India.

We can offer lower prices due to lower infrastructure costs, yet without any compromise in the quality of treatment.

Why is Pune an attractive tourist destination?
Pune is located at a distance of 200 kms from Mumbai which is one of the gateways to India and the two cities are very well connected by road (expressway), large number of trains and air connectivity as well. While road or rail travel would take about 4 hours, the flying time between Mumbai to Pune is just 15 minutes through a number of national airlines.

From the point of view of pure tourism it has range of extremely affordable to luxurious five star hotels, a very pleasant climate - at a height of about 2000ft. above (mean sea level), a lot of sightseeing within and around the city, a very large number of restaurants offering Indian and international cuisine, cultural activities and further connectivity to almost all destinations in India by road, train and air.

Maharashtra is a leading travel and tourist destination in India.
