Medical Tourism-heal your Pain

Health is wealth. A healthy mind can think and work effectively. Today, people are suffering from various types of unheard and unseen diseases. Costs of treatment of some diseases are also very high. Some people can afford it, whereas, some people cannot afford it. The cost of treating the same disease varies from country to country. People who cannot afford treatment in his own country moves to some other country for treatment. Once, they are treated by an experienced doctor, their disease gets vanished. Medical tourism is flourishing day by day in various parts of the world. It is a blessing for the patients.

While trying to describe the rapid growth in traveling to places for getting oneself treated, travel agents and mass media coined the term medical tourism. Global healthcare is more likely to replace the term medical tourism. There are two reasons why people travel to other countries for treatment. Firstly, when the cost of treatment is very high in his own country and secondly, when the disease is incurable in his native place. People who need to undergo complex surgeries like joint replacement, cardiac surgery, dental surgery or cosmetic surgeries generally move to other countries. Cuba, Germany, Mexico, Panama, Jordan, Colombia, New Zealand, Singapore and India attract more and more patients. It is rapidly increasing day by day.

The governments of the respective countries also invest funds to develop the hospitals as well as work towards improved infrastructure. The government has also developed medical tourism to generate income for the country. Traveling to another country for treatment is not only cost effective but can successfully cure any sorts of diseases. Countries that provide medical treatment gives excellent health treatments to their patients and also have world class doctors. Patients that travel to some other countries get a good treatment from the doctors as well as from the medical staff. Doctors and medical staff work hard to make their patients happy and try to cure any major health problems that they are facing. They try to give full comfort to their patients. The different international healthcare accreditation schemes vary in quality, size and cost. They also vary in terms of cost according to the hospitals and healthcare institutions using them. They all have web sites.

Medical tourism provides various services to the patients. Private transportation is provided to the patients and his attendant. The vehicle will take them to any place. The hospitals will also provide interpretation assistance if needed by the patients to understand all the procedures of the hospitals. The hospitals will also provide cell phone or a 24-hour contact number. Accommodation is also arranged for the patients. The patients also get to know about the local customs of the place. The hospitals also provide many other facilities to the patient. The patients can very easily afford the expenditure of the treatment. Another advantage of this type of travel is that the patients will get to explore a new place which will refresh his body and mind.

I am proud to say that I have spent the last year sharpening my focus and relooking at my life and my learning as a fellow of the obstetrics and gynecological world. Back to school was my mantra and in all humility while I am always in awe of the space India holds in this field of medicine, I have learned so much in the past year.

The Story of this year began almost 5 years ago and started with me searching for the promised land that will bring us closer to academics, research & newer technologies. We had hurdles, problems, obstacles but together with the most dynamic managing council in the history of MOGS, we did go thru the year with flying colors. These were difficult times with the world at war, terrorism threatening our planet, our country, our beloved city and our way of life. We cannot even hold our cricket matches in our own country. A severe economic recession grips the world and threatens our medical tourism and outsourcing industries.
