An Overview of Hospital Care in Kanpur for the Tourist


India has been associated with a rich culture in every possible way. The government is investing very heavily in the healthcare sector so that its hospitals can be at par with the best in the world. There is no shortage of staff and well-trained doctors in India, but the lack of equitable development across the country is the chief reason that there is such a great disparity between hospitals in different regions of India.

Kanpur is the chief industrial city and is located in the state of Uttar Pradesh. It has a booming industrial rail as well as a trade center. The city produces wool and cotton textiles and is famed for its leather goods. Tourists have been flocking to Kanpur in droves for a long time owing to its various historical associations and rich points of heritage. Of late, there has been an increase in the level of entertainment that Kanpur has to offer its tourists in addition to the traditional delights. The healthcare sector is amply developed and although it is not among the top five in the country, Kanpur hospitals do come under the list of good hospitals in India.

Hospitals in Kanpur are either state controlled or owned by private investors. The former type of hospital charges very minimal costs to tourists, and offer residents free or subsidized rates of treatment according to their financial ability. However, these state controlled hospitals often face issues of overcrowding and lack of organization. These issues lead most expatriates and tourists to approach private hospitals for treatment in cases of basic need and in the case of emergencies. All doctors are trained as are the nurses. There may be some cultural differences that cause discomfort to tourists, but other than that Kanpur hospitals offer quality service in terms of treatment.

Most doctors speak fluent English and more often than not all staff members employed by the hospitals understands English well enough to help you out. Tests are conducted in private or government pathologies. There might be a tendency among locals to charge foreigners more so it is best to get in touch with your doctor so that he can refer you to reliable centers. The hospitals have special wards that can be booked for a little extra charge. The food served is basically wheat or rice based, though you can order food according to your preferences from outside the hospital as long as there are no health restrictions.

Be prepared, because there is a possibility that you may be asked to pay up in cash. There are well equipped labs attached to most hospitals and the equipment they house is of first-rate order. The best known hospitals in Kanpur are J L Rohtagi Hospital, Panacea Clinic, Mahsa Hospital, L. D. K. M. Hospital, Kanpur Medical Center, Sulaxmi Nursing Home, Shyam Hospital & Research Center, Saluja Hospitals Pvt. Ltd, Regency Hospital, R K Devi Memo Hospital, Meerpur Hospital, Mariyampur Hospital, I. H. M. Hospital and Priya Hospital.
