Medical Tourism is a new age term used in the 21st century coined by travel community and media to describe the practice of travelling across international borders to obtain health care and cure. Also known as Health Tourism and often referred to as Wellness Tourism too although that is not the right usage. This practice began when healthcare became expensive in the developed countries and people sought out avenues for cheaper options. Slowly the excessive waiting periods for treatment in developed countries also led to this movement. Over the period of time good quality of service with better treatment options at much cheaper price led to the development of Medical Tourism.
At Mystikal we have always believed that “Prevention is better than Cure”. As a result of the same we have devised a way to detect the possibility of diseases before the disease actually catches up with you. Unlike taking a health insurance where you are insuring to take care of your medical expeses once it happens, we promote health check ups at the best of diagnostics to detect problems before the disease catches up with you. This gives a detailed insight into your current health status thereby preparing you to take corrective actions and preventing a “diseased” condition.
Medical Tourism in India is new and catering primarily to those who have been affected by diseases and looking at the small but significant number for patients turned tourists who are seeking medical treatments coupled with a holiday. At Mystikal we believe the market is much bigger as we are looking at Medical Tourism from a different perspective. We are looking at the the majority of healthy people coming on a holiday . A healthy client will enjoy his tour better than the one who is having a disease. Better still a healthy person who is the most unlikely one to go for a health check up during his routine days would do so when he has time and leisure at hand. Clubbing a medical check up with the holiday gives him the opportunity to take a relaxed holiday and prepare his body for a disease free future.
Human beings are born lazy – no, they are born normal – but become lazy and it is for this reason the diseases get better of us. For this simple reason we are forced to look at curing the diseases once it has affected us. As a major chunk of us fall into this category Medical Tourism today is on the rise. For us Medical tourism is preventive healthcare and active disease control than cure for the diseased.
Join us in our endevour and lets promote Medical Tourism with Preventive Healthcare.
