Medical Outsourcing Procedure

Medical Outsourcing can be defined as a health holiday. These patients going to a different country for either urgent or elective medical procedures is becoming a worldwide, multibillion-dollar industry.  Medical Outsourcing is ‘cost effective’ private medical care in collaboration with the tourism industry for patients needing surgical and/or other forms of specialized treatment.


Medical Outsourcing combines wellness and healthcare alongside leisure and relaxation.  Medical Outsourcing is aimed at rejuvenating a person; mentally, physically and emotionally. It involves the idea of drawing you away from your daily routine to a relaxed surrounding in an exotic location. Many medical outsourcing tourists are seeking treatment at a quarter or sometimes even a 10th of the cost at home.  These patients are often people who are frustrated by long waiting times.  Becoming a medical outsourcing tourist is a chance to combine a tropical vacation with elective or plastic surgery.


 Countries that actively promote Medical Outsourcing include Cuba, Costa Rica, Hungary, India, Israel, Jordan, Lithuania, Malaysia and Thailand. Belgium, Poland and Singapore are now entering the field. South Africa specializes in medical safaris-visit the country for a safari, with a stopover for plastic surgery, a nose job and a chance to see lions and elephants.


Research is the first step to successful medical outsourcing travel. Make sure that you do your research on the following:


The Procedure:   Find out about the procedure and compare your expectations with what is achievable by the surgery. Also inquire about follow-up care needed, time required for recovery, physical therapy, etc.


The Hospital:   When selecting the hospital that is right for your needs, you should consider the hospital's accreditation, awards and recognitions, facility and equipments, statistics like success rates, etc.


The Surgeon:   Check the certifications, training and repute of the surgeon who will be treating you.


The Destination Country:   You should base your selection on quality, distance and cost.
Always work with your local doctor and inform him about your decision to travel overseas for treatment. You may need his assistance prior to the surgery for furnishing the health records required by the international hospital and post surgery for any follow-up checks that may be required.

  • Argentina Time

    Argentinians generally take a very relaxed attitude towards time. This can be unsettling to visitors from North America and non-Latin parts of Europe where punctuality is highly valued. You should expect that your Argentine contacts will be at least 10 to 15 minutes late for any appointment, even to a business meeting. Tardiness of 30 to 45 minutes is not unusual. This is considered normal in Argentina and does not signify any lack of respect for the relationship.

    If you are invited to a dinner or party at, say, 9 PM. It does not mean that you should be present at 9 PM, but instead that you should not arrive before 9 PM. You'll be welcomed anytime afterwards. Arriving to a party 2-3 hours late is normally OK and sometimes expected. This is normally difficult to understand for Northern hemispherians.

    This attitude extends to any scheduled activity in Argentina. Plays, concerts usually get going around half an hour after their scheduled times. Long distance buses usually leave on time. Short-distance public transportation like city buses and the subway do not even bother with time estimates; they arrive when they arrive. Factor these elements into your calculations of how long things will take.

    Unannounced bus or train departures ahead of the schedule are not uncommon, especially in big cities. This is normally not a problem, as in general no one will expect you to be on time anyway.

  • CDC last week released its annual HIV/AIDS surveillance report, which found that the number of reported HIV cases in 2006 was higher compared with previous years, the Wall Street Journal reports. According to the Journal, the higher number of reported HIV cases reflects CDC's "improved surveillance system rather than a rise in the epidemic" (Wall Street Journal, 3/31).
