Gurgaon
Information about Gurgaon city and places around Gurgaon India and NCR.

Gurgaon, although a very old city of Haryana, has emerged on the world map in the past 10 years. With the development of new Gurgaon the population of the city has increased four folds. As the city has grown we have also witnessed development of modern healthcare facilities in Gurgaon.

Gurgaon being a part of the NCR (National Capital Region) is already close to Delhi. Delhi has the reputation of the country’s healthcare capital. Big names like Apollo, Escort, Gangaram, Batra, AIMS, and other specialty hospitals have been successfully treating patients from all over the country since decades.

In spite of being close to Delhi, which is the healthcare hub of India, Gurgaon has its own forte of specialty hospitals. Almost all the big names in healthcare – Max, Apollo, Fortis, Shroff Eye Center, Center for Sight, have their branches here.

One remarkable thing about healthcare facilities in Gurgaon is that they are all modern and laced with experienced doctors from all the fields. Many of the known health specialists of Delhi who have been practicing there for decades have chosen to shift their base to Gurgaon. Availability of bigger living spaces that can cater as nursing homes or clinics has pulled a lot of doctors to Gurgaon.

For example, Dr Trehan, the heart specialist and surgeon who has served Escorts for any years has recently established Mednata (Medicity), a 1600 bed Medical Institute in Gurgaon. Dr Trehan has brought with him a team of specialists from different fields like oncology, cardiology, Orthopedics, and so on. The hospital aims at becoming a super specialty center and providing world class treatment in 20 specialties.

Artemis is another great medical center in Gurgaon. It’s a 20 bedded super specialty center catering to both national and international patients. The institute is equipped with latest technology in preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic imaging along with a filmless Hospital Information system. The hospital also runs wellness and preventive programs for the benefit of its patients.

Healthcare facilities in Gurgaon have definitely witnessed a boom in the recent past. A number of hospitals in Gurgaon are also focusing on Medical Tourism. Hospitals like Artemis and Paras have projected themselves in international market. They have a separate unit for international patients and data shows that hundreds of international patients are successfully treated in these hospitals every year.

There is no doubt that healthcare facilities in Gurgaon are on the way of becoming world class but they also come heavy on pocket. The residents of Gurgaon have a general feeling that doctor’s fee is on a higher side in Gurgaon as compared to Delhi.

Most of the people feel that they do not get value in proportion to the money paid by them. Due to sudden emergence of so many new doctors in every lane of Gurgaon it is really difficult to decide who is a good one. But irrespective of their inexperience or less experience the fee charged is as high as any other known specialist.
