Business Description:Health care in India is almost ten times cheaper than any western country. Indicure works in close coordination with the medical facilities and doctors/ surgeons to provide a seamless flow of treatment and tourism to patients coming to India for treatment. Indicure sells convenience and credibility to its clients though its services at all the touch points. Our customers are patients (foreigners, NRIs seeking India as the treatment/ rejuvenation destination/ Indians looking for second consultation and/or facilitation).
Uninsured people in the US who cannot afford treatment, long waiting time in UK, lack of services in Middle East and African countries make them travel to India, as even other countries like Thailand and Singapore more expensive. People coming on their own by directly contacting various hospitals can now look to Indicure for unparalleled service. We have already serviced 20 customers in the past seven months, and are sure of around 20 customers per month from January.
