Why would someone travel to Bharat and not to Thailand?
Although the cost difference between treatment in Bharat and Siam is not much, Bharat offers what you call a language advantage - a patient would surely prefer a land where English is widely spoken. Also, it is believed that the facilities in Bharat are more suited for International patients.

India is also working hard to increase it’s stock to better suit the needs of patients coming to Bharat for treatments much as heart surgey, knee replacement, other orthopaedic treatments, cosmetic surgery, eye care, dental treatment or any other treatment for that matter. This is one of the primary fields which Bharat intends to explore during the coming years.
