India is a Medical Outsourcing Destination - Tom Peters

Outsourcing is all geared up to cover one more area and this time its Medical Outsourcing
Medical Toursim off late has been catching up fast in India with top hospitals like Apollo ,Fortis etc, partnering with Tourism co-ordinator and providing world class treatment clubbed with tour to Incredible India.
And with management guru and thinkrs like Tom Peters writing about it on his blog,this surely is something which can be labeled an upcoming trend.As Tom mentions, a poor lady from America who is not insured and cannot afford to get herself treated in US flies in to India and get herself world-class luxurious treatment at just 1/3rd the price.Indian doctors are renowed community in US so this can be surely lableled as safe
Increasing insurance cost in west and long waiting list for treatment at government hospitals in coutries like UK and US are factor which will be catalyst for Medical Outsourcing .Also, poor health conditions in countires like Africa,Middle east and even south east asia, India surely going to become a Medical Hub.This might see the same trend in future what IT witnessed in '90s
Looks like the word 'Bangalored' gonna see more addition to its meaning
