Tourists and travellers are finding one more reason to visit Goa and that is for taking benefit of the world class medical services available now in Goa too. Here are 5 reasons, why you should especially think of Goa, when considering your next surgery or health procedure:
1. Medical Skills Easily Available in Goa.
Goa is very well prepared to service foreigners when it comes to health care. Most Goan doctors speak perfect English, a majority of them are also educated and trained in international schools. Present day doctors are serving local Goan patients and at the same time they cater to high profile patients from Bollywood in Mumbai and also foreign tourists during their stay in Goa.
In India there is also a healthy competition between government, privately run hospitals and healthcare institutions for servicing those patients who are not happy with the Government run hospital service.
 Goa has plenty of professional private healthcare providers and they are within reach of the coastal tourist belt and are situated in the major cities of Goa.
Major private hospitals to mention a few are Vrundavan Hospital in Mapusa, Manipal Hospital in Dona Paula, Vintage Hospital in Panaji, Apollo Victor Hospital and NUSI Hospital in and near Margao in South Goa.
Some of the medical services offered here are: General Medicine and Cardiology, Orthopedic Surgery, Pediatrics, Trauma and Critical care, Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, Endoscopic and Laproscopic Surgery, Gastroenterology and Oncosurgery, Neuro surgery, Cosmetic Surgery, ENT, Urology, Nephrology, Dermatology, Ophthalmology, Dental, Medical Genetics and Counseling, Respiratory Medicine, Physiotherapy, Dietetics, Alternative and Ayurvedic Medicine.
2. Quality of Surgery, Staff and Operation Theaters are high.
One is glad to say that hygiene in hospitals all over Goa are upto the mark and matching international standards of hospital hygiene.
Operational devices, x-ray machines, dental equipment and other instruments are of high standard, and upgradation is done regularly. Modern facilities are the norm with nurses in spotless white uniforms.
3. Quick Turn Around Time.
Tourists, travellers, NRI's and foriegners visiting Goa for medical treatments are given the first preference if not to say the red carpet treatment. As a foreigner you can enjoy a very individual and prompt reception. Medical Services charged for foreigners are definitely a little bit higher compared to what the locals are charged, but that ensures that you get preferential medical treatment but still at ¼ of the price in Europe.
 The same applies for consultations without appointments with specialists. As a premium paying customer you usually don’t have to wait long in crowded waiting areas.
A checkup is done very thorough and in an individual manner.
The medical support staff is generally friendly and genuinely interested in your well-being.
4. Low Medical Costs.
Most over the counter medicines can be bought here with or without prescriptions from the local frienly pharmacy. Goa has thousands of pharmacies at every corner.
Medicine in India is a Fixed price product so prices for medicines are fixed as their MRP. Meaning Maximum Retail Price that the pharmacist can sell it to you! So you don’t have to haggle like with everything else in India. Prices are printed on the boxes of medicines and that’s exactly what you pay. Not more, not less.
Some few examples of how medicinal products are still cheap in India.:
