Low Cost Surgery Packages for Tanzanians at the best hospitals in India from the top surgeons

Tanzania is identified as one of the countries with serious shortage of healthcare facilities. The health system is not so matured and there is gross imbalance when it comes to distribution of resources. Lack of adequate resources makes it very difficult for the population to access quality healthcare services. There is quite restricted access to basic and emergency medical care services mainly due to insecurity, poor economic and social conditions, cost and the fact that many healthcare centers do not function adequately. Thus, patients from Tanzania prefer travelling to other countries to get rescued from their health issues.

Earlier only the affluent population of Tanzania could manage to get timely treatment in other countries. With India emerging as one of the best and leading medical tourism hubs of the world, not only the affluent people but patients from all sections of society in Tanzania can now afford the array of treatments and have started flocking to India.

Tanzania, officially the United Republic of Tanzania, is an East African country situated just at the south of the Equator. Tanzania was formed as a sovereign state in 1964 through the union of the separate states of Tanganyika and Zanzibar. Mainland Tanganyika covers more than 99 percent of the combined territories' total area. Mafia Island is administered from the mainland, while Zanzibar and Pemba islands have a separate government administration. Dodoma, the designated official capital of Tanzania since 1974, is centrally located on the mainland. Dar es Salaam, however, remains the seat of most government administration, as well is the largest city and port in the country.

The Tanzania mainland is bounded by Uganda, Lake Victoria, and Kenya to the north, by the Indian Ocean to the east, by Mozambique, Lake Nyasa, Malawi, and Zambia to the south and southwest, and by Lake Tanganyika, Burundi, and Rwanda to the west. Except for the narrow coastal belt of the mainland and the offshore islands, most of mainland Tanzania lies above 600 feet (200 metres). There are vast stretches of plains and plateaus along with spectacular features like, Africa's highest mountain, Kilimanjaro (19,340 feet [5,895 metres]), and the world's second deepest lake, Lake Tanganyika (4,710 feet [1,436 metres] deep).

Mainland Tanzania can be divided into four principal climactic and topographic areas: the hot and humid coastal lowlands of the Indian Ocean shoreline, the hot and arid zone of the broad central plateau, the high inland mountain and lake region of the northern border, where Mount Kilimanjaro is situated, and the highlands of the northeast and southwest, the climates of which vary from being tropical to temperate. Owing to the historically low density of human settlement, mainland Tanzania homes an exceptionally rich variety of wildlife. Large herds of hoofed animals - wildebeests, zebras, giraffes, buffalo, gazelles, elands, dik-diks, and kudu—are found in most of the country's numerous game parks. Predators like hyenas, wild dogs, and the big cats—lions, leopards, and cheetahs. Crocodiles and hippopotamuses are common on riverbanks and lakeshores.

Over 100 different languages are spoken in Tanzania, making it the most linguistically diverse country in East Africa. But it has two official languages, Swahili (kiSwahili) and English. Swahili, the national language, is a composition of several Bantu dialects and Arabic that originated along the East African coast and on the island of Zanzibar. However, English is widely used as a medium of instruction for education and official purposes.

However, when it comes to medical facilities in Tanzania, they fail to touch the medical standards available in countries like US and UK. The healthcare system in Tanzania is not fully-equipped and lack good surgeons and staffs. The government of Tanzania has been trying desperately to overcome this health crisis and the deficit of medical resources because these factors are affecting the all round development of the country. People are dying of diseases that are preventable due to limited access to good quality medical care and inadequate distribution of resources across the country. Thus, public healthcare in Tanzania is generally of low quality due to widespread corruption, rampant poverty and limited resources. This leads to the downfall of living conditions resulting in healthcare disorders.

With medical tourism picking up at a fast pace, a large number of patients are travelling from Tanzania to India for various medical and surgical treatments. The main factor attracting these medical tourists is saving money on what normally are very costly procedures. Moreover, many treatments and surgeries are not available in Tanzania but those are readily available in India at affordable cost. Majority of the treatments in India cost about as low as one tenth of what they cost in other leading nations like USA or UK. This has led to the rise in medical tourists from Tanzania to come to India for their treatment.

Just visualize a complex medical procedure being done by the most adept surgeons and at prices as low as one-tenth of what it costs in other leading nations. That's viable in India! Today India has truly emerged as a very promising option as the ultimate medical tourism destination. India has some of the best qualified professionals in each and every medical sphere, and this fact has now been identified and widely accepted by people around the globe. Right from quality of services, array of procedures and treatment options, availability of top-notch infrastructure and skilled manpower to perform any medical procedure, to zero waiting time - the list of advantages goes on. Some of the factors that are drawing the attention of medical tourists are:

• Expert physicians and specialists with national and international experience
• Usage of cutting edge technology matching global benchmarks
• Highly trained nurses/paramedics and assistant staff
• Low or zero waiting period
• Rejuvenation and recreational programmes for patients
• Huge costs benefits as compared to other countries

The reason that makes India one of the best medical tourism destinations in the world involves many factors. Starting from state-of-the-art medical facilities to affordable treatment to proficient doctors, all contribute majorly to the popularity of India as a medical tourism hub.
