Goa with it combination of super specialty hospitals and luxurious hotels, has been touted as an ideal medical tourism destination where ailing foreigners can combine a relaxing holiday with cheap but effective medical & dental treatment.
With the new UK NHS Dentist plan unvieled in April 2006, dental treatment will become a lot more cheaper . But the ground reality is more dentists are leaving the NHS as they cannot afford to charge the low prices recommended by the Government. From 25 million British Nationals without a dentist the figure is expected to rise steeply to 40 million within the next 5 years. Dr. Ambert Pimenta, who has clinics in Margao and Calangute in Goa , told Gomantak Times, Goa's leading daily " Goa is already been marketed as a tourist destination so we are just adding value to the brand by offering them our services". He says that he first latched onto the idea of catering to tourists when a foreign patient told him how difficult it was to get treated by Britain's National Health Service (NHS). " He told me he had to sleep on the streets for hours to be among the first to get an appointment. Even then it would take at least six months to get to the dentists chair. What we do here is to offer them a holiday coupled with dental treatment and they get treated like royalty for a fraction of the price they would have to pay back home." Dr. Pimenta explained. He adds that he gets between 300 to 400 patients per season, most of them through word of mouth.
