How reliable is the quality of medical treatment in India?

Medical treatment that is truly world-class is available in several top hospitals across India's metropolitan cities. These hospitals boast state-of-the-art medical equipment and diagnostics. The expertise and experience of the doctors places them amongst the worlds finest.

Are Indian doctors well qualified and experienced? Even for complicated cases?

Yes. India's medical schools are highly rated. What's more, most of India's leading doctors have also studied and worked in the best medical institutions, generally in U.K and U.S.A. Moreover, the doctors from our associate hospitals keep abreast of the latest technologies accepted worldwide by attending refresher courses from time to time.

Their global acceptance can be gauged from the fact that every year, hundreds of renowned Indian doctors visit Europe and USA to teach at leading hospitals and universities by invitation. New and innovative techniques are constantly being adapted and mastered by Indian surgeons who have success rates which are as good as those in the world's best hospitals.

Where in India are your associate hospitals located?

Currently, Aarex India has empanelled six hospitals : one in Mumbai , two in Bangalore, one in New Delhi one in Ahmedabad, and one in Kochi.

What is the basis for selection of these hospitals?

How are costs for medical treatment in India, compared to Europe and USA?

Medical procedures and treatment in India cost 50% or less than in Europe or USA Click here for a few specific cost comparisons

Do cheaper costs mean lower quality or less qualified doctors ?

Definitely not. The reason medicare is cheaper in India is because of much lower living costs in India when compared to Europe or U.S.A. A dinner that would cost $ 20 in the U.S.A. would cost only a third in India. These lower costs of living also translate into lower costs of medical treatment.

Indian hospitals use the same top notch diagnostic and surgical equipment ( made by, for e.g., multinationals like Siemens, Philips and G.E ) that hospitals overseas do. All critical consumables are imported or made in India to world standards.

Indian doctors and nurses are in great demand the world over. Hospitals in U.K. and U.S.A. are increasingly being staffed by Indian professionals - when you come to us for treatment, you will be entrusted to very safe hands.

Can I leave for treatment at one of your facilities without reconfirmation of your Standard Medical Packages?

Our Standard Medical Packages would be applicable to over 70% of patients. In some cases, the patients may have other medical conditions that would perhaps have an implication on cost of treatment. It is therefore essential that you obtain a customised quote, which will factor in any such problems.

Also, while our patients are given priority scheduling and are immediately attended to at our Associate hospitals, it would be better to obtain a confirmation of appointment for consultation / surgery prior to your departure.

How about the stay of my escort?

The escort can stay with the patients who are being treated in twin sharing category or higher wards.

If the patient is being treated in general ( multi-bed ) ward, the escort will have to stay in a hotel or apartment. We will help the patient's escort to find suitable accommodation.

What if I only require Outpatient treatment, not requiring a stay in the hospital?

In many cases where only investigations are required or when the patient is looking for dental treatment or other minor medical treatment not requiring hospital stay, we will assist in finding and booking suitable accommodation for you close to the medical facility / doctor, at a budget which has been approved by you.

Is it true that world-class dental treatment, cosmetic surgery, ophthalmic (eye-related) treatment is available in India at a fraction of the cost than in most other countries?

Yes, this is true. Today, India boasts of world-class professionals in the area of dental, cosmetic and ophthalmic treatment. In most other countries, treatments for these conditions are excluded from health insurance and are prohibitively expensive. In India, these services are available at a fraction of the costs prevailing in the western world.
