India Is NRI’s Paradise For Medical Treatment

Bygone were the days when the ‘life of a foreigner’ laden with all comforts was the only desire of Indians. Now, Indian economy has acquired full speed to chase developed nations like the US. Tempting perks in jobs for lavished lifestyle are very much available here in India. Enough is done yet vast is left to be done to bring our own brains back to India.  

NRI investment services have become so lucrative that migrants have started planning to spend days of retirement in India. Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has prepared platform via National Pension System (NPS) investment for NRIs. Now, my all migrant friends can feel free to return & relax in the lap of motherland without worrying about standard lifestyle. 

Health problem is what that compels a person to wander door to door of varied doctors. It’s the magic of health tourism that so many migrants living in west Asian countries have begun knocking at the door of Indian hospitals. A remarkable number of NRI patients at Sir Sunder Lal (SSL) hospital of Institute of Medical Science, Banaras Hindu University (IMS-BHU) are their clear evidences.

Most of the NRI patients suffering from TB, chest pain, neurology disorder, dental problem and for plastic surgery search Indian doctors. Meeting the formality of documentation work in India, they land from United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Qatar, Iraq and Africa prominently. They pack their bags in assurance of permanent recovery from the diseases. Thousands of such NRI patients have real stories of their recovery. Impressive!   

But traveling to Varanasi, where the SSL hospital is, is quite tough. NRI services in India through various reliable companies, like S2NRI, can solve your problems in minutes.  I met my NRI friends who specially took flight from UAE for oral implant in SSL hospital. And I felt proud while exchanging words with him as his mouth was filled with PRAISE for Indian doctors. Even, the expenses on medicare were in-budget for him, although, he was ready to spend whatever cost to fix his oral problem.
