Often, we see on social media and other platforms that people make fun of Indian healthcare facilities, but according to a recent incident, the reality was completely different. A viral video is making the rounds on the internet in which an American woman is shocked by the ease of healthcare in India and how easy it is to book tests.

Mackenzie, who has an Instagram account called "macnkeen,” shared a video in which she tells how her boyfriend fell ill during the trip to India. She said, “I’m an American and I’ve lived in England, so I’ve seen two different healthcare systems work.”

In all of this, she was tense about the appointment with the doctor and the cost of the treatment. One of her local friend’s help made her understand how Indian healthcare is different and quick compared to the USA and UK.

She started the video saying, “I am going to be spoiled for life in terms of Indian healthcare,” and then she shared that her boyfriend Keenan was “super, super sick,” and she knew there was something wrong with him that made her nervous. But one of her friends suggested that they get initial medication for Keenan and then book some tests for further testing.

After listening to this, she thought it would take a long time, but it came as a surprise to her when she learned that patients in India can book tests according to their own choice of time and date. Whereas, the same thing would take one to two weeks in the USA. Moreover, she got more surprised when she learned that they don’t need to go to the doctor's clinic; instead, the nurse will come home to collect the samples, and they’ll get the results later that day.

It was something very new for her, and she was thinking about the money and said, “It’s gonna hurt the wallet.” and after knowing about the home sample collection and the doctor overseeing this, she got more worried and started calculating everything in her mind. She said, “And then I’m like calculating in my head how much is this, 14$.” The whole thing cost her around 1170 Indian rupees.

“I’m blown away; this is incredible,” she said, talking about the healthcare system.

The video was posted with a caption that reads, “I guess this is how India keeps 1.4 billion people alive!”

User’s reactions to the post:

One of the users said, “my grandma just got eye surgery in india and my grandpa was able to watch the whole thing through live video….so advanced!”

“There is a reason all my friends from India go back to India to get their root canals, new glasses, contacts, and annual check ups,” wrote one person.”

“Not just blood tests; I can get an appointment with a doctor within 10 minutes on my phone, get an online consultation via video and also buy the medicines the doctor prescribes on the same app. The medicines will be delivered to my doorstep in 10 minutes and I can pay for all of it with my phone. As someone who’s travelled all over the world, India is leagues apart in terms of services,” said another user.

“I’m American and I have spent the last 5 YEARS trying to get treatment for my endometriosis. USA healthcare is a nightmare.”

“Indian living in the UK, I have spent 12 hours in the emergency department just to see a doctor, only to be told I have to wait another 2 hours to see a doctor. I went home. Back in India I would have had an Xray done, consulted the doctor with the Xray, received medicines, gone home and watched 3 movies by this time,” said an Indian man living in the UK.
