Dental Tourism |
What is Dental Tourism?
People from the West travel to India in search of medical aid. The primary reason is the cost advantage. It takes a fraction of the cost for the same procedure done with the same quality. Even after spending for the airfare to and accommodation in Kerala they will still have savings when compared to having the treatment done in their country. They are also convinced that the technology and professional skill in Kerala are at par with any of the international health centres.
