MYTH AND STEREOTYPES ABOUT MEDICAL TOURISM

Anil Sharma

TREATMENT ABROAD IS EXPENSIVE

Cost of treatment is one of the main reasons for the patient to refuse treatment abroad. Indeed, the treatment abroad can be slightly expensive compare to developing countries. However, the high cost of treatment is offset by accuracy and reliability. With the help of innovative equipment and modern treatment methods, the patient is correctly diagnosed the first time and treatment methods which are selected have minimum risk of relapse. While a patient in domestic clinics may have to visit several doctors to clarify the diagnosis or eliminate side effects from treatment. As a result, the cost of treatment in one’s own country is the same, or even higher than abroad.   Another aspect of the problem is the option of making choice. India and Turkey can offer the cheapest treatment in the world. For example, in India, diagnostics are cheaper than many other countries while in Turkey, rhinoplasty or breast augmentation can be done at a lower cost. If the patient is in a difficult situation and he needs a very expensive procedure, he can raise funds. MediGlobus medical coordinators can freely advise a person on this issue.

 

ORGANIZING A TRIP ABROAD TAKES A LOT OF TIME

A sick person wants to recover as soon as possible, and for seriously ill patient each hour is important. To save time, patients go to the nearest clinics, even if they know that the quality of medical services is worse there.   However, distance has long ceased to play a significant role in diagnosis and treatment. Full diagnostics in the best foreign clinics takes 1 day. A person can go through it without breaking away from work! Some clinics have launched service of remote consultations. A patient may contact doctors in another country and receive a treatment plan. He will learn how to come to the clinic, how much time it takes, how much it will cost and who will carry out the treatment.   With a personal query directly to the clinic, the efficiency of the organization of treatment is greatly slowed down. Most of the time it takes to solve formal problems with documents and registration in the clinic. On the contrary, with the help of a medical platform, you can plan a trip much faster. The medical consultant will help you choose a clinic and collect the necessary documents, talk about your doctor, and arrange a visit. With such support, the organization of treatment is quick and simple.
 

TO TREAT ABROAD, YOU NEED TO KNOW ENGLISH

Between receiving quality medical services and the patient there is a myth about the complexity of organizing trips abroad. At first glance it seems that finding a clinic, choosing a doctor, sending tests for diagnostics, buying tickets, applying for a visa will take forever and a sick person can not cope with this. In reality, tickets can be bought online, our platform will help you choose an inexpensive clinic with the right treatment, the consultant will tell you what documents you need to prepare, and the clinic will help you open a medical visa.   If a patient can not come for treatment abroad, he can receive doctor’s recommendations on treatment methods. This service is called a “second opinion” and you don’t need to go to another country for it. The patient sends all medical records and history to the clinic. A medical council of doctors gathers in foreign clinic and together they prescribe a treatment plan to patient. He will know which drugs to take and which operations are indicated. However, he carries out direct treatment in his country. MediGlobus consultants will help the patient to connect with the clinic and quickly send documents to foreign doctors.
 

IN ANOTHER COUNTRY IS DANGEROUS AND THERE WILL NOT BE ANY SUPPORT

In fact, being treated in a foreign country is as safe as in your own. So, to cross the border, insurance is issued to the patient. The clinic takes responsibility for him when he goes for treatment abroad,. She guarantees him safety. Due to the fact that many patients come from abroad for treatment, regional coordinators work in the clinics. The coordinators meet the patient at the airport, transport them to the clinic, and help them check into the hotel. At the request of the patient, they can even organize an excursion tour of the city. A relative or close friend can go with him to make it easier for the patient to go through such a difficult period of life. The clinic also takes care of the accommodation for the family.
