5) Do you think your doctor is not experienced enough to operate upon you?
Well, if the answer to any of the above questions is “Yes”, it’s high time that you think of medical tourism, i.e. moving out of your home country for affordable yet world class healthcare services. If one goes by the definition of it, “Medical tourism” refers to the movement of a patient from a highly developed nation to avail cost effective yet world class medical treatment at affordable costs, which are otherwise very expensive in their own country.”
Medical Tourism can address all the above 5 concerns quite satisfactorily.
1) Has your doctor been too busy to give you any appointments?
The medical tourism destinations like India, have a enormous workforce of internationally trained doctors and nursing staff in a number of accredited hospitals. This workforce is good enough to serve both the domestic and the international patients and hence you get to consult a world class doctor without any delays.
2) Are you medically uninsured?
In some of the countries the government insures the citizens medically and its very easy for such patients to avail good quality healthcare. But for the people who are medically uninsured, the cost of good healthcare could most of the times a distant dream. For such patients, medical tourism has appeared as one of the most viable solution to all their health related expenditure. The medical tourism destinations like India, offer quality healthcare services at very affordable prices.
3) Is there a waiting time of months before you can get a surgery performed in your home country?
It has been observed that there is a waiting time of months, and sometime years before a specific surgery could be performed in one’s home country. The condition of the patients worsens and the disease aggravates if the patient waits for months. Because of an enormous healthcare infrastructure and a pool of qualified doctors, the medical tourism countries like India, perform mind boggling number of some of the most complex and sought after surgeries like heart bypass, angioplasty, knee replacements etc. Forget about waiting for months, the treatment starts the day you land in India.
4) Are you worried about the cost of surgery in your home country, or is it totally out of your pocket?
Cost, is one of the major concerns that has led to the growth of Medical Tourism. Most of the people in the developed nations are not able to afford quality healthcare services. This has led to the growth of medical tourism as the cost in a pioneer medical tourism destination like India is only around 10% to 15% of the original costs. For an instance a typical Heart Bypass surgery in India is going to cost $6000 to $9000 in an accredited Indian hospital, whereas the same heart bypass is going to cost around $23000 to $34000 in Thailand and $100000 in the US.
5) Do you think your doctor is not capable enough to operate upon you?
If you have been worried over the expertise of the doctor treating or operating upon you, medical tourism has an answer for your worries. India has a pool of qualified doctors, most of which are internationally trained and have performed a huge number of surgeries owing to a large number of patient influx of domestic as well as international patients.
