The Medical Travel Company is setting the highest standards as India emerges as a global leader in medical tourism.
KL Rahul, Jofra Archer and Jason Roy - part of the 4CAST athlete collective that has invested in TMTC - have busted a number of myths about medical tourism in an exclusive interview in this month's issue of The Edge.
But why should you consider India for your healthcare needs and your own wellness journey? Here's 10 reasons why it's the place to go...
1. India has more than 2.5 million doctors
India’s surgeons often bring decades of UK and US clinical experience - including NHS - which means you’re getting global-standard care at every step.
2. Treatment at a fraction of UK and US prices
Here’s what the UK pays vs what the same treatment costs through TMTC in India:
Full mouth / smile restoration
🇬🇧 £30,000
🇮🇳 £7,000
You save £23,000
Hip replacement (unilateral)
🇬🇧 £17,000
🇮🇳 £5,500
You save £11,500
Shoulder replacement (unilateral)
🇬🇧 £11,000
🇮🇳 £3,000
You save £8,000
Plus, TMTC handles everything - scans, surgery, aftercare, physio, and UK doctor follow-up on return.
3. Zero waiting lists
While it often takes weeks just to get a GP appointment in the UK, India can get you all of this:
- an MRI scan in 24 hours
- a specialist consult in the same week
- surgery scheduled within days
4. UK + India doctor collaborations
This is the TMTC secret sauce: you see a UK doctor before and after your treatment, AND they coordinate with Indian specialists throughout your journey.
This is a proper cross-border care pathway - instead of 'fly, fix, and forget.'
5. Aftercare that feels like a five-star stay
Jason Roy has described India's hospitality as "absolutely incredible," and he should know after multiple trips there for cricket and pleasure.
Instead of hospital wards, you get recovery suites. And you can expect:
- chef-curated meals
- on-call doctors
- in-house physiotherapy
- Netflix, comfort and peace
6. Hospitals where butter chicken is on room service
Yes, this is real. Indeed, KL Rahul says that some hospital butter chicken is better than restaurants in London!
Healing with flavour? Only in India.
7. The most advanced medical infrastructure in Asia
India has invested more in hospital infrastructure in the last five years than it had in the previous 30.
From robotic surgery to the world’s largest cardiac centres - it’s not just modern, it’s cutting-edge.
8. India performs more heart surgeries than most countries
India performs hundreds of thousands of cardiac surgeries annually - more than the UK and Germany combined.
Doctors in India have unmatched hands-on experience.
9. A full body MOT for less than your iPhone upgrade
🇬🇧 £9,500
🇮🇳 £999+
A complete health check-up, scans, specialist reviews, and UK doctor follow-up included.
10. Wellness + healthcare in one trip
Ayurveda, physiotherapy, yoga, spa therapies... India blends medical treatment with whole-body recovery.
At TMTC, your healing journey includes:
- Less stress
- More rest
- And yes, sometimes a holiday-level reset
