surgery, no. of days, stay and cost of the whole procedure.
Q .4)Can I access these Indian healthcare facilities directly ?
Ans:-You can. However, as you may know that india is a very large country with innumerable
tertiary health care centers each specializing in different areas of tertiary care. You might have
difficulty in locating the facility appropriate to your particular healthcare problem within your
budget. Imagine trying to make travel, lodging and boarding arrangements, fixing doctors
appointments, keeping schedules etc. And finally about taking the decision itself all these would
not only add to your costs but also to your stress levels and you would agree that this is
something you can do without.
GTS represented by Global Treatment Services takes care of all these activities. Even before you
buy your airline ticket, your case is studied by a specialist of your choice who will advice you the
best treatment and would appropriately treat your case on your arrival.

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

Ans:-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.
Q .11)Do cheaper costs mean lower quality or less qualified doctors ?
Ans:-Definitely not. The reason medical care is cheaper in India is because of much lower living
costs in India when compared to Europe or U.S.A.
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.

will in some cases vary.

consultation charges etc. ?
Ans:-The estimate we give you includes all such charges.

category or higher wards.

help the patient's escort to find suitable accommodation.

Ans:-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.
Q .16)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 ?
Ans:-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.
Q .17)If I want to be treated by a doctor or at a hospital, which is not on your Associate
list, can "GTS structure a package, take appointments etc.? What would I need to pay
for this service ?

treatment. We will assist in getting the necessary appointments, cost packages, finding you
