European traveller shares India medical testing experience: Mumbai clinic visit, blood tests and test results
A European traveller in India has gone viral on social media after highlighting the country’s efficient and hassle-free medical testing system. In an Instagram video titled, “Getting a blood test in India,” user Liza shared her experience of seeking a quick diagnostic test while staying in Mumbai.
Opted for a Nearby Clinic in Mumbai
Liza explained that she needed a rapid blood test and chose to visit a clinic located close to her accommodation. She said the process was smooth, with minimal waiting time and no complications.
“This might be the least glamorous thing I've done in Mumbai,” said Liza in the clip, adding: “Before starting a health programme, I needed 12 blood markers checked, so I found a clinic with good reviews and booked an appointment. Many people don't know but medical tourism is a huge industry here.”
Quick Process and Fast Results
According to Liza, the entire experience, from booking to testing, was completed efficiently. She noted that while the cost was slightly high, the convenience made up for it.
“The whole process was quick and straightforward. The tests came to around 72 euros, which was on the pricier side, but it was the closest clinic,” she said.
Results Delivered Within 24 Hours
She further revealed that the test results were delivered digitally within a day, adding to her positive experience.
“Less than 24 hours later, all my results arrived on WhatsApp. Honestly, I've had more complicated coffee orders.”
Internet Shares Mixed Reactions
The video sparked discussion online, with users offering varied perspectives on pricing and accessibility.
One user commented, “If it included scans and echo along with blood tests, then £72, it is nominal. For only blood tests, £72 is expensive. The locals get it done for Rs 5000 - scan, echo and blood tests included.”
Another added, “Just download the 1mg app and check all the rates. You can also book a home visit for blood sample pickup.”
