I live near Manipal Hospital in Bangalore and had to stay with a friend in there, thrice in last 6-7 months. Maybe he likes it there too and I often go to their cafeteria(outside) which is cheap and good.
I meet so many foreigners here. I've talked to them; they simply say it's very good - service, expertise - and it's a f*ing loot! And no, this is no such no-frills hospital. So, if you are from a western country and earning even decent money then you are welcome to India and any hospital/hotel/place might make you feel like royalty - mostly without compromising in quality.

- kitcar 13y agoThere are; google "medical tourism" - that being said there is some potential liabilities in that business...

- geon 13y agoI don't know about businesses, but a lot of people go to Thailand for dental care or boob implants.
- theatrus2 13y agoI was about the mention Thailand and Taiwan as two popular medical tourism places. You're out $1-2k on the ticket, but paying a tiny fraction for great healthcare. You just can't sue anyone later (but that is maybe a good thing).
- amalag 13y agoAs others pointed out, this medical tourism niche definitely exists and so does dental tourism. Getting a root canal while taking a mexican or thai vacation.
