Local services in India
Medical facilities in India are not comparable to those of more advanced countries such as the UK, especially in more remote areas. In major cities private medical care is available, but expensive. There is the risk of various mosquito-borne diseases being transmitted in India and also the air pollution in major cities can be a hazard to health so one must be cautious about these when travelling. There is a huge rise in medical tourism in India and many people reach out to the many professional facilities for complex operations and transplants and even for simple services due to the cheaper prices. Dental treatments in India are also becoming popular with tourists. The cost of dental treatments has also soared in western countries giving place for growth of the Indian dental sector. Education in India is provided by both private and public schools. The country has seen huge growth in attendance and literacy, which has been a problem in the past.
