India offers world-class healthcare that costs substantially less than those in developed countries, using the same technology delivered by competent Specialists attaining similar success rates. Hospitals in India use some of the best know-how and technology and the procedures include cardiothoracic, neurology, gastrointestinal, orthopaedic, renal, obstetric, ENT, ophthalmology, dental, plastic, cosmetic and tumour surgeries.

A new dimension of the medical field taking off in India is cosmetic surgery which utilises some of the latest techniques in corrective procedures. Some disfigurations corrected include hair restoration (hair implants, hair flaps, and scalp reductions), rhinoplasties (reshaping or recontouring of the nose), stalling of the aging process (face life, cosmetic eyelid surgery, brow lift, sub-metal lumpectomy for double chin), demabrasions (sanding of the face,) otoplasty for protruding ears, chin and cheek enlargement, lip reductions, various types of breast surgery and reconstruction and liposuction.

Non-invasive surgical procedures like stereotactic radio surgery and radiotherapy for brain tumours are practised successfully.

People from other countries are coming to get these treatments done in India. And generally they take tour of the surrounding areas. People accompanying patients go for spas, yoga classes etc.
