The festive air of Sankranthi is palpable, and for telugu communities worldwide, it holds significant importance, prompting many to return to their hometowns. This trend is not limited to those residing in major cities like hyderabad, Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, etc., but extends globally to countries such as the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Germany. Every year, numerous telugu families from abroad make it a priority to celebrate Sankranthi in their hometowns.


This tradition intertwines festivity with personal and professional commitments. Notably, medical treatments have emerged as a focal point during this period, particularly in cities like hyderabad and Mumbai, where the influx of patients from other countries, including NRIs, intensifies during the christmas holidays.


Medical treatments sought in india range from joint and dental procedures to addressing obesity concerns, with some NRIs even opting for heart surgeries. This represents a shift from the past when individuals with financial means sought medical treatments abroad. The current scenario sees an increased flow of patients not only from europe but also from Arab countries to cities like Mumbai, hyderabad, Bangalore, and Chennai. 


Corporate hospitals are responding to this trend by establishing specialized wards for international patients. The attraction lies in India's ability to provide quality medical services at a fraction of the cost compared to treatments in foreign countries. Consequently, medical treatment for NRIs has become an integral component of the festive celebrations.
