From United Kingdom,to Mohali,and back.
"NHS waits push electives private. British Indian patients often make the maths — and the family visit — work together."
NHS elective wait-lists for varicose, fibroid embolisation, PAE, and non-urgent vascular review can stretch six months or more. UK private care is excellent but expensive. For families with existing Punjab connections, treatment in Mohali — with a UK-style consultation-first model — is often the pragmatic choice.
