My BIL caught Dengue after his trip from India. This was 2 years ago. Was not fun at all. My wife had to take a month family medical leave (FMLA per US laws where she works) to stay with him until my MIL could come over to take over. Anyway, beyond the logistics, my BIL was in the hospital for several days with continual blood transfusion. Doctors were not aware of Dengue. Through some miracle, one of the doctors at another hospital suggested Dengue and they conferenced in doctors from various locations until Dengue was confirmed. Then he had to be given steroids to stimulate white blood cell production. The steroids created hemorrage (bad spell) as it thinned out the clotter.....and so on.
One of my wife's friends' relative in Delhi has Dengue now and they have put out blood request plea on Facebook
My grandmother contracted chickungunya with excruciating joint pains and suffered for days on.
I am sure you can contract all sorts of crap from anywhere if you don't exercise common sense, but I'd suggest if you are traveling to Delhi or areas where Dengue seems prevalent, enjoy the trip, but take caution. They are not fun if you end up getting them.
After living abroad for many yrs, our immune system get weakened due to various reasons. Foreigners are more prone to these deceases when they travel to India.

True, but my g'ma and the young guy relative of my wife's friend do live in India. So, not everyone is fortunate, I suppose.

This is not to beat up Canada and is based on my seeing the facts happen to my close friends.
1. 1 person contacted E-coli. The doctors overlooked the E-coli in the urine test and said take Tylenol. The person was on the death bed 3 days later and was rushed to emergency. They saw the report again and gave anti-biotics for E-coli. Say for example that you visit Toronto General hospital for the test and they give you a Ok signal that nothing is wrong, can you go back and say check again? They will kick you out.
atleast in India, you can have multiple opinions for Rs.50 a visit and buy anti biotics over the counter.
2. 1 person had running nose/ cold / cough for 1 month. After 3 days visited walk in's. All recommened tynelol and when the person asked for anti biotics was seen sarcastically (since the person suffering was visible minority. Most doctors think that these people are refugges and that they came in a boat to take the benefits reserved for the Gora man). It took a month and a desi doctor to finally say that this will lead to pnemonia and was prescribed antibiotics. The cold left in 3 days after that.
So everywhere problems are the same. we have bedbugs here too (despite the cold). But solutions are better in India. That is why we are 1100 million (Canada's population 34 million)
Peace

You can have a second opinion in Canada too. You have the right to change your family doctor or go to a walk-in. Also, I wouldn't be comfortable buying anti-biotics OTC. Self-medication is not a laudable practice. In India, a colleague of mine always bought lariago (for malaria) whenever he had fever. You cannot determine what is the exact dosage for your body. Also, there are lots of medications that lower middle class Indians cannot afford.
I do not know how to react to your logic of having a lower population due to so called inferior health care facilities.

My comments was not to imply that but rather, if India had so many diseases like that and if the hospital / medical system was in shambles how did we ever go up to 1100 million and counting...
I bet you did not know that India also has a universal healthcare system for both humans and pets (which Canada does not have despite its 34 million population). The fact now is that many Indians have tons of moeny that they go to Private clinics for faster and better service.
I was born in a Govt. hospital (free) in the 70's. My dad and mom said that they did not pay a cent for my delivery. I think they bought cool drinks from the doctor and nurses back then. Many on CD (esp. the software engineers) would have been born with the help of mid wives in villages.
Back to the topic, as WEBB 2000 said, whether some CD's accept it or not, 99 % of Indians come to the west for Money. That is the sold objective. Some from Delhi might have had crores of money and they might have immigrated to Canada to lead a pollution / crowd / free life here.
Again to earn money, you need a good job in Canada or be willing to work 2 nos. of 8 hr. job a day.
That is the bottom line.
