Medical Tourism is a developing concept whereby people from all over the world visit other countries for their medical and relaxation needs. As health care costs skyrocket, patients in the developed world are looking overseas for medical treatment. We, at HimachalDental, are capitalizing on its low costs and highly trained doctors to appeal to “medical tourists.” Even with airfare, the cost of going to India for surgery is markedly cheaper, and the quality of services is often better than that found in most countries. Indeed, many of our patients were pleased at the prospect of combining their oral-facial maxillary surgery or prosthesis on their implants with a trip to Holiday Destinations In India, all courtesy of HimachalDental world-renowned services.

Not only do you save an enormous amount of money — since offshore dental procedures can be performed for as little as one-fourth the cost of what would normally be charged in the Western states, with state-of-the-art facilities to boot, you also get to enjoy VIP services, such as personalized hotel accommodations, free shuttle services to and from the airport, and absolutely to-die-for hotel accommodations, restaurants, spas, and vacation packages anywhere India.

The reason HD is often referred to as “a patient’s dental paradise” is because our infrastructure and technology, is at par with those in the advanced countries. It is one of the first dental centers in the Himachal to take advantage of the country’s positive image as a destination for medical tourism due to its world-class dental care and modern technology, with procedures delivered at a fraction of the cost of those in developed countries. In addition, the services of hotel bookings, pick-up services, city tours around Shimla may be included as part of the dental tourist’s package – making it one of the most convenient and well-planned dental tourism packages offered in the country today.

Since  India is also one of the most favorable tourist destinations in the world, dental medicine combined with tourism has come into effect, from which the concept of Medical Tourism is derived. What’s more, we have developed links for speedy treatments for foreign nationals on account of the fact that in those countries one has to wait for extended periods of time to undergo operations. Here, at HD, our focus is on giving you our closed attention and the finest of dental care. We maintain our notable full service operation in all levels of dentistry to ensure you the utmost possible care. Renowned as a pioneer in one-stop dental treatment in Shimla, we extend our full dental service to welcome you at the gate of India.

HIP RESURFACING INDIA

Hip resurfacing has been practiced in India for several years, almost as many years as the birth of the procedure itself. As such, India boasts of surgeons who have experience performing thousands of hip resurfacing surgeries on both Indian patients as well as foreign patients from countries such as the United States, Canada, Europe, Middle East, etc.

India is also one of the most popular medical tourism destinations in the world. Factors working towards this popularity / desirability are:

• great price differential resulting from lower cost of labor
• internationally accredited facilities having state-of-the-art technologies in 5-star hotel-type settings
• lower communication barriers as English is widely spoken
• experienced surgeons and medical teams that are trained or educated overseas
• variety of recuperation retreats

Hip resurfacing in India is offered at several hospitals that are JCI accredited. Some of the examples are:

• Apollo Hospitals: Apollo Hospital Group is the largest private healthcare group in Asia. In India, it has several branches all over the country, like in Chennai, New Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Goa, Kolkata, etc., several of which are JCI accredited.

• Wockhardt Hospitals: Wockhardt Hospitals Group consists of super specialty medical centers spread across India. It has got branches in major cities such as Mumbai, Bangalore, Nagpur, Hyderabad, Kolkata, etc. Meet Healthbase hip resurfacing patients who have received treatment at Wockhard Hospitals.

Years of war have literally destroyed Iraqi’s once world-renowned healthcare system. The Iraqi healthcare system used to be considered one of the best in the region, but today, millions of Iraqis suffer from respiratory infections, formerly preventable diseases such as measles, and malnutrition. The WHO (World Health Organization), UNICEF and USAID have joined hands and efforts to provide essential services for many Iraqis, but continuing conflict has reduced the effectiveness and ability of such organizations to provide quality and all-around care for Iraqi citizens.

Dire Straits for Iraqis
The basics are missing from Iraqi’s healthcare facilities and hospitals these days, from vaccinations to cardiac defibrillators. Meningitis, dysentery, and malaria have become the norm. Hospital labs can’t perform tests, and lack of drugs and basic supplies severely hamper physician’s efforts to cure patients. Medicine, syringes and IV fluids are often only available through the black market.

Missing drugs, ill-equipped doctors, and sometimes infested clinics and hospitals are seriously hampering healthcare efforts in Iraq, and patients are suffering. Corruption and incompetence is replacing what used to be known as one of the most efficient, state-of-the-art, and highly educated healthcare providers in this area of the world. Money earmarked for medical drugs, equipment and clinics goes missing, and even formally world-renowned facilities and ERs in Baghdad are suffering the consequences.

Middle-class Nigerians are venturing beyond African borders for affordable and quality healthcare services in destinations such as India, where family members may benefit from excellent, quality, and affordable treatments in a multitude of medical fields, including eye care, dental care, wellness programs, alternative treatments, cancer therapies, orthopedic surgical procedures, cardiac care, and chronic illness treatments.

It has long been known that the overall healthcare system in Nigeria has suffered in recent years caused by social and economic difficulties. Millions of Nigerians are seeking more adequate medical care or health care systems to treat infants, children or adults for a multitude of illnesses and disease processes, and they’re looking outside their own borders to do so.

Medical Travel for Nigerians Points to India
Health care services are extremely limited in this poor African country, leaving millions of families burdened by staggering costs of medical or healthcare, costs that prevent many from seeking any healthcare services whatsoever. Finding adequate and quality healthcare is also extremely difficult, and substandard products in technology and healthcare services adds to the burden. Because of such, Nigerians are looking for quality and affordable healthcare elsewhere.

India’s showcase private hospitals have made it easier for the country to forget about the poor.

By Jason Overdorf – GlobalPost

Published: Global Post.com October 14, 2009 06:49 ET

NEW DELHI, India — Seema sits cross-legged on a filthy sheet of cardboard next to a crumbling concrete planter in the central square of Nehru Place, New Delhi’s computer and electronics hub. Four years ago, at the age of about 14, she gave birth to a son on this very spot, without the aid of a kettle of boiling water or a clean blanket, much less anesthesia or a doctor. Four days ago, the same little boy, Rajesh, died here, on the same slab of pavement.

Suffering from pneumonia, Rajesh never saw a real doctor, even though his mother and the community of rag pickers who live here scraped together everything they had to collect 500 rupees ($12) to pay for treatment. Not knowing any better, Rajesh’s family took him to an informal medical clinic on the outskirts of town — the only private medical care that they thought they could afford. The staff there gave them some medicine. But nobody on site had any medical qualifications, so Rajesh wheezed and coughed himself to death.

“I gave birth right here,” Seema said. “It was in winter. That’s how Rajesh got sick in the first place. We took him to the doctor so many times. So many people’s children I’ve seen die. They collect money from various places and go to the doctor, and the children still die.”

Seema’s grief echoes across the country. According to a new report by Save the Children, nearly 2 million children under 5 die every year in India — one every 15 seconds — the highest number anywhere in the world. More than half die in the month after birth and 400,000 in their first 24 hours. Devastating poverty is the root cause. But the full story is even more grim.

India has swiftly gained a global reputation for excellence in health care thanks to the thriving business of “medical tourism.” But the patients jetting in from the U.K., the U.S. and other wealthy nations to take advantage of relatively low costs for planned surgeries like knee and hip replacements and cosmetic procedures have drawn attention away from the disastrous conditions at most hospitals — not to mention the total dearth of health care for hundreds of millions of Indians.

And medical tourism has a dark side: it has encouraged wealthy and influential Indians to forget about the crumbling and overburdened government-run health system, because they now believe they have access to the world’s best care from private hospitals.

As a result, the Indian government spends only 0.9 percent of its gross domestic product on health care, ranking 171st out of 175 countries in public health spending, according to the World Health Organization. It relies on the private sector, which contributes another 4.3 percent of GDP, to make up the shortfall. So even though state-run hospitals like the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) — a renowned center that treats about 3.5 million patients a year for less than a dollar apiece — do their best to care for everybody, the rich and poor alike often turn to private clinics.

These private players, which receive tax breaks and purchase land from the government at subsidized rates, make much of the charitable work they perform for India’s underprivileged. But a recent Delhi High Court judgment against Apollo Hospital and a subsequent health department investigation suggests that at least some of these claims may be exaggerated or even false.

In September, the Delhi High Court slammed Apollo for failing to live up to its commitment to provide free treatment for the poor in 40 percent of its outpatient and 33 percent of inpatient business in exchange for concessionary land rates, saying, “The hospital has made a complete mockery [of the agreement].” According to the All India Lawyers Union, which brought the suit against the hospital, the Delhi government granted Apollo 15 acres of land for the token price of one rupee and spent about $3.5 million in public funds on the construction of the facility.

“The entire purpose of giving them the public land was frustrated,” said Ashok Aggarwal, the lawyer who argued the case against the hospital.

According to a spokesperson for Apollo Hospitals, the corporation’s charitable activities are significant — including the performance of more than 50,000 surgeries and other interventions for poor children suffering from heart disease — and the Delhi hospital in question averages about 60 patients admitted for free care every day.

Apollo Delhi also operates a mobile clinic for the poor that has treated 26,000 patients over the past decade, the spokesperson added.

Apollo is by no means the only alleged violator, according to the Delhi government health department, though the hospital’s $300 million parent company’s fame in medical tourism makes it the most recognizable name of the bunch. A day or two after the judgment against Apollo, health department officials revealed that many of the 40-odd hospitals that were given government land at reduced rates were not utilizing the beds intended for providing free treatment for the poor. About 350 out of 500 beds intended for charity patients were empty. At least part of the problem is that poor people like Rajesh’s parents don’t know that these private hospitals are obligated to help them. But they may know the ground situation better than activists and writers.

“Even if knew they [private hospitals] were supposed to, do you really think they would let someone like me come through the door?” Rajesh’s mother asks bitterly.

The privatization of health care has other dismal consequences, too.

Forty percent of the primary health centers are understaffed; India has fewer than one hospital bed per 1,000 people, compared with a world average of nearly four; and for huge swaths of the countryside medical treatment is simply not available.

At state-run hospitals, hundreds of patients line up in the emergency room to take advantage of free treatment, ensuring a long enough wait that desperately poor people like Rajesh’s parents believe they’re better off paying for fast service elsewhere — even from a quack.

Reports of stray dogs, monkeys and rats wandering through the wards are commonplace, and every so often local newspapers highlight something more disturbing, like a manhole burbling with waste water in the center of a patient’s room.

Though the elite’s faith in the much-feted private hospitals remains unshaken, the truth is that not even the wealthy can escape unscathed from the drastic gap between supply and demand.

Just a few weeks before 4-year-old Rajesh died from untreated pneumonia, Col. Satyendra Nath Bhargava, 68, succumbed to organ failure after awaiting treatment for an apparent heart attack for five and a half hours in the emergency room of the Artemis Health Institute, a high-priced private hospital in the Delhi-satellite town of Gurgaon, Haryana, according to his son.

As a decorated veteran of India’s 1962 war with China, he could have sought treatment in any number of army hospitals. But his wife, naturally, called an ambulance from the nearest facility. Once she got there, sometime in the middle of the night, the staff refused to administer any tests on her husband until she went home to collect 50,000 rupees in cash (about $1,000) for a deposit. After that, there was no doctor available. Only five and a half hours later, when one of the staff recognized the colonel’s sister-in-law — herself a well-known medical doctor — did the hospital finally track down a physician.

By that time, it was too late.

“These hospitals, because they are big corporates, think that they can do whatever they want,” said Kanish Bhargava, the colonel’s 36-year-old son. “I used to always say that private hospitals are very good, and that they look at you and take care of you [quickly]. But I’m sorry to say that they don’t. It’s a money-making racket.”

There has been a lot of quite heated discussion about the fertility tourism industry lately, so much so that I thought we needed another blog. The last fertility blog was about IVF and this one is all about surrogacy. It is based on a news article that appeared on Bio News.org and IVF.net about British couples travelling abroad for commercial surrogate arrangements.

Views are very mixed on this. Professor Naomi Pfeffer, an expert in the ethics and regulation of controversial developments in medicine, said at the ‘Motherhood in the 21st Century’ conference at UCL that couples travelling abroad for commercial surrogacy are engaging in a form of exploitation. In the UK, women who act as surrogates for infertile couples are allowed to receive up to £10,000 in expenses, but any further payment is illegal. This has contributed to an acute shortage of surrogates and means many couples travel abroad to countries like India where commercially-arranged surrogacy is permitted. Professor Pfeffer warned that more vulnerable members of society could feel pressured to be surrogates in order to repay debts or buy food.

Lord Robert Winston, Professor of Fertility Studies at Imperial College, agrees that paying for commercial surrogacy was ‘a form of exploitation,’ while Professor Sammy Lee, an IVF expert who teaches medical ethics and embryology at UCL, said that the acute shortage of egg and sperm donors in the UK would quickly lead to more couples going abroad.

However, responses to Professor Pfeffer’s comments have varied hugely. Dr Malpani, a doctor from an infertility clinic in Bombay disagrees strongly with this view in his blog.

He describes a typical surrogate’s story:  “She is poor; lives in a slum; has two children; and a husband who works, but cannot make ends meet. She can continue eking out a life of quiet desperation, and because she is not educated, can never exit this hellish life. One way out of this trap is to earn some money by being a surrogate. Not only does this earn her family some money which may allow her to get a better education for her children, it also ensures her some rest and pampering during her pregnancy.”

Dr Malpani does agree that some clinics can exploit these women, who are often very poorly educated, but he calls for regulations and guidelines to protect the surrogates. He says “to claim that it’s the infertile women who are exploiting the surrogates is very unfair”. He continues that it’s in the infertile couple’s best interests that the surrogate be well-nourished and well-cared for during her pregnancy, to ensure their baby gets the best prenatal care. Similarly, the following blog views surrogacy in India as the fastest-evolving form of assisted reproduction and as a benefit to the Indian economy.

So, travelling abroad for surrogacy is obviously a big issue for all concerned, but it is not going away - A study, presented at the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE)’s annual conference, indicated that each year 20,000-25,000 women from Britain are travelling abroad to access treatment which is unavailable to them at home. We would love to hear your thoughts on this very emotive issue – who do you agree with?

Despite the hard blow of the recession India has emerged as the global spa destination.  Patients and tourists from all over the world visit India for medical treatment, surgery and relaxation as the country provides superlative medical care, equipments and facilities. India excels in offering cheap health care, services to the over seas patients and tourists. According to the new report of the RNCOS the medical treatment and tourism in India contributes annual revenues of around $400 millions to the country’s revenue.

Despite having the superlative countries like USA, UK, Canada, Europe, what makes India the Global Health Destination. If this question is beating in your mind then reasons are as follows.

In India there are several health care hospitals, spa centres, medical resorts which are well equipped which are equipped with cutting edge technology to give the best health care treatment and care to the patients.

Not only cost saving while you have to wait for a months in countries like UK, USA, Europe for your medical treatment, it can be easily arranged within a week in India. Delayed in any medical treatment can detoriated you health further and in time can prove to be fatal in coming time.

Language is also the major factor that has made the Medical Tourism of India to boom at a rapid pace. India has a large number of good speaking doctors, nurses and medical staff that makes the foreign patients easily relate with the doctors about their medical problem.

India doctors have got an expertise in cardiac surgeries, knee transplant, liver transplant, orthopedic surgeries, Vascular surgery, Dialysis and Kidney transplant, Neurosurgery and Trauma Surgery, Cosmetic Surgery, Brain Surgery, Cancer Procedures and other medical treatment. The entire treatments are done by the expert doctors who ensure fast recovery from the detoriated medical health.

All medical treatments, surgeries are done with the latest, technologically advanced diagnostic equipments.

These are some of the key factors that plays vital role in the boom of the Medical Tourism in India.

Beside medical tourism of India, Ayurvedic spa and resorts of India has played a significant role in the boom of medical tourism in India.

Cancer Treatments Overview
Cancer can strike any gender or age group. Depending on the cancer type, various cancer treatments may be initiated in an effort to eradicate or kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy treatment, radiotherapy treatment, and breast cancer surgery are the most common types of treatments that battle multiple forms of cancer. However, cancer treatments vary according to the stage of cancer is discovered, as well as location and overall health of the patient. Cancer staging is typically defined as Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3 and Stage 4, ranging from early and localized to those that have spread throughout the body.

Cancer Treatments
Depending on the cancer types discovered, physicians will determine which options or alternative cancer treatments are best in every situation.  In some cases, a patient may have a choice of procedures or treatments, while other times, they will not. Certain factors will determine which treatment will provide optimal results, including what type of cancer tumor, what organs or tissues are affected, as well as what stage of cancer is in. The earlier the stage of cancer treatment development, the better for treatment prognosis. Overall health and age may also factor in to cancer treatment plans.

Chemotherapy involves the use of medications to attack and kill cancer cells. Many people experience side effects such as hair loss, nausea, and weight loss with chemotherapy treatment. However, new advancements in medications have helped to reduce many of the side effects formerly associated with chemotherapy radiotherapy. This type of treatment is used when cancer has metastasized, or spread to other areas within the body. In many cases, it is used in conjunction with cancer surgery and radiation therapy treatment. In most cases, chemotherapy radiotherapy will be initiated after surgery of cancer has removed the cancer tumor or tissues from the body.

Once again, the summer months are almost upon us. We take a look in the near, try on favorite summer clothes, and realize that we’ve got some changes to make. Cheap plastic surgery is available to help take a nip here, a tuck there. Cosmetic surgeries may involve anything from liposuction to breast augmentation, a nose job, or even a thigh lift. Cosmetic surgeons in foreign destinations are highly skilled, world-renowned, and offer a multitude of cosmetic surgery procedures to meet any needs, at costs Americans can afford.

Cosmetic and plastic surgery and most cosmetic dental treatment procedures are not covered by medical health insurance in the United States. Is it any wonder that millions of Americans travel abroad to destinations such as Croatia, Brazil, or India for affordable plastic and reconstructive surgery?

Whether you’re looking for noninvasive plastic surgery, obesity plastic surgery or reconstructive cosmetic surgeons, the world is literally at your fingertips. Board-certified plastic surgeon options, plastic surgery specialists in cosmetic surgery center options are available in foreign destinations.

We involved 5 hospitals and 20 patients to test our product and we realized that there is lot more to be done. Doctors/Patients seem to be technically challenged when it comes to web. Things that appear obvious for an average web user, doctors and hospital admin staff found it bit difficult.

As a result, we had to make changes to our UI and here is what we have come across. While we have successfully tested all the features of the product and are very excited about our overall accomplishment, we certainly think that it will take our team nearly 2 months to bring in the usability improvements and overhaul the entire site.

Here is the new homepage layout

We obviously want to launch it after we run it through these hospitals/patients again and also then have few more hospitals/patients test it.

Our SEO team is already on board and despite the fact that we still have not gone live, our servers are getting decent hits http://alexa.com/siteinfo/kosansh.com and we also have a good following on twitter http://twitter.com/kosansh

Middle-class Nigerians are venturing beyond African borders for affordable and quality healthcare services in destinations such as India, where family members may benefit from excellent, quality, and affordable treatments in a multitude of medical fields, including eye care, dental care, wellness programs, alternative treatments, cancer therapies, orthopedic surgical procedures, cardiac care, and chronic illness treatments.

It has long been known that the overall healthcare system in Nigeria has suffered in recent years caused by social and economic difficulties. Millions of Nigerians are seeking more adequate medical care or health care systems to treat infants, children or adults for a multitude of illnesses and disease processes, and they’re looking outside their own borders to do so.

Medical Travel for Nigerians Points to India
Health care services are extremely limited in this poor African country, leaving millions of families burdened by staggering costs of medical or healthcare, costs that prevent many from seeking any healthcare services whatsoever. Finding adequate and quality healthcare is also extremely difficult, and substandard products in technology and healthcare services adds to the burden. Because of such, Nigerians are looking for quality and affordable healthcare elsewhere.

For many years, Nigeria has suffered from a lack of a comprehensive national health plan that meets the needs of all age groups and demographics in this central African country. Middle-class and upper income Nigerians are traveling to India to meet those needs, in everything from vaccinations to physical therapy to hip replacements and cardiac care.
Multiple global organizations visit Nigeria on a yearly basis, but it is still not enough to meet the needs of her citizens.

Whether it’s for heart surgery, eye surgeries, cosmetic procedures or orthopedics or wellness or preventive medical care, the people of Nigeria are flocking to India for treatment in state-of-the-art in high-tech facilities to receive care, treatments and procedures from highly trained experts in a variety of medical fields and specialties.

Medical tourism is growing in popularity in African countries as it is in other countries around the world, enhanced by affordable procedures, quality care and the best in high-tech equipment. Online Internet resources accessible by millions around the world offer up-to-date, reliable and well researched information regarding a multitude of medical destinations to suit most medical needs. Having such access can mean the difference between obtaining affordable and quality healthcare or living in substandard health conditions that cause many inhabitants to suffer and die from otherwise preventable disease and illness processes.

Years of war have literally destroyed Iraqi’s once world-renowned healthcare system. The Iraqi healthcare system used to be considered one of the best in the region, but today, millions of Iraqis suffer from respiratory infections, formerly preventable diseases such as measles, and malnutrition. The WHO (World Health Organization), UNICEF and USAID have joined hands and efforts to provide essential services for many Iraqis, but continuing conflict has reduced the effectiveness and ability of such organizations to provide quality and all-around care for Iraqi citizens.

Dire Straits for Iraqis
The basics are missing from Iraqi’s healthcare facilities and hospitals these days, from vaccinations to cardiac defibrillators. Meningitis, dysentery, and malaria have become the norm. Hospital labs can’t perform tests, and lack of drugs and basic supplies severely hamper physician’s efforts to cure patients. Medicine, syringes and IV fluids are often only available through the black market.

Missing drugs, ill-equipped doctors, and sometimes infested clinics and hospitals are seriously hampering healthcare efforts in Iraq, and patients are suffering. Corruption and incompetence is replacing what used to be known as one of the most efficient, state-of-the-art, and highly educated healthcare providers in this area of the world. Money earmarked for medical drugs, equipment and clinics goes missing, and even formally world-renowned facilities and ERs in Baghdad are suffering the consequences.

Because of the dire situation in Iraq, millions of Iraqis are scrambling and saving to travel to foreign destinations for quality and affordable medical care. One of the most popular destinations for Iraqis is India. Iraqis are patient as possible while they wait for passports and travel permits to venture beyond their war-ravaged borders for healthcare. Children and adults requiring surgeries are able to receive affordable care in India for conditions in cardiac, orthopedic, vision and dental care, making any and all sacrifices more than worth the effort.

Otherwise treatable conditions in Iraq severely limit the life expectancy and prognosis for many children and adults diagnosed with lung disorders, chronic illnesses, malnutrition and its aftermath. Today, children in Iraq die of treatable conditions such as diarrhea and measles because medications are unavailable.
