Hand pain or injuries can significantly impact your quality of life, especially when they interfere with daily activities or work. In the Maldives, while basic healthcare services are available, specialized hand surgery options can be limited and expensive. This has led many Maldivians to seek affordable, high-quality medical care abroad, particularly in India.
1. Challenges of Accessing Hand Surgery in the Maldives
The Maldives faces certain limitations in providing advanced hand surgery treatments:
- Limited Specialist Availability: Few hand surgery specialists operate in the Maldives, making it difficult for patients to access expert care locally.
- High Costs: Specialized treatments, including surgical options, can be expensive for uninsured patients.
- Lack of Advanced Facilities: While local hospitals handle general medical cases, complex hand surgeries often require advanced facilities not commonly available in the Maldives.
2. Why Choose India for Hand Surgery?
India has become a leading destination for medical tourism, particularly for patients from neighboring countries like the Maldives. Here’s why:
