Abstract
With improvement of healthcare in India, it is now possible for specialty surgical units to become a destination for teaching and training. From a humble beginning of 5 beds in 1972, Ganga Hospital, a specialty centre for trauma, orthopaedics and plastic surgery has now become 600 beds performing 26,000 surgeries per year. In the process, the Plastic Surgery Unit has attracted 2165 surgeons from 70 countries. Indian surgical units have the benefit of numbers, but numbers alone can not get international visitors. Consistent quality outcomes, good documentation and availability of data, transparency in processes are appreciated by the visitors. It has also been found that in addition to the founder, the units must have number of reputed surgeons in the team to attract visitors because the international visitors also have a choice of place to choose and look for value for time and effort.
