SimpleCare “Booming medical tourism industries in India and Pakistan could fuel a surge in antibiotic resistance”

A dangerous new mutation that makes some bacteria resistant to almost all antibiotics has become increasingly common in India and Pakistan and is being found in patients in Britain and the United States who got medical care in those countries, according to new statistics.

Experts in antibiotic resistance called the gene mutation, named NDM-1, “worrying” and “ominous,” and they said they feared it would spread globally. A study tracking the spread of the mutation from India and Pakistan to Britain was published online on Tuesday in the journal

Medical tourism” to India for many surgeries — cosmetic,  dental and even organ transplants — is becoming more common as hospitals offer care at a fraction of Western prices. Tourists and people visiting family are also sometimes hospitalized. The Lancet researchers found dozens of samples of bacteria with the NDM-1 resistance gene in two Indian cities they surveyed, which they said “suggests a serious problem.

R.B. Prats states that unfortunately we have known of possible complications for some time and have consistently warned American, British and Canadian medical travelers that their decision should not be made solely on price. American medical tourism operators and brokers emphasize price and the fact that surgeons have either trained in the U.S. or are board certified? although this may be true in some cases it does not negate the fact that traveling to a third world country posses not only personal safety issues but health risk as well.
