Ask yourself: Why should I look for medical treatment abroad when there are hospitals here I can visit conveniently? For patients looking for medical care domestically, the costs for receiving treatment at your local hospital or medical facility will likely exceed costs you get from hospitals abroad. Per day, thousands of people visit a hospital to seek treatment for a variety of reasons and seeking quality treatment should never come at a prohibitive cost.
In 1983, Dr. Prathap C Reddy established a vision where everybody would be able to receive medical attention at a price they could comfortably afford. Therefore, the establishment of the first

Experiencing a Different Culture and People
Sometimes, the anxiety of travelling to a new country can add stress to your present condition. If this is the first time you are flying to India, you can expect the unexpected. For example, Indians do not eat beef. Cows are extremely sacred in India and therefore, it is mostly unlikely you will find beef sold in supermarkets or local convenience stores. However, there is a plentiful selection of meats available for your choosing: Mutton, veal, chicken, pork, and fish.
Indians are very helpful and compassionate people, always going out of their way to help someone in need. If you happen to get lost or require assistance, you can always ask.
Experiencing India as a first-timer may be an overwhelming experience, but India is truly a wonderful and holy place. The nation is immensely rich in culture and diversity. Likewise, there are over two hundred spoken languages and thousands of dialects. India is home to many interesting and archaeological sites, including rivers, forts, buildings, and monuments.
Conclusively, while you are recovering from your treatment and you are healthy enough to travel; it is recommended to travel around the city. The cities come alive at night and the streets are lined with bright lights, aromatic smells of authentic Indian cuisine, and sounds of the bustling market echoing from all sides.
