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.

  • Australia Time zones

    Mainland Australia has three time zones, on account of its large geographical range:


    Eastern Standard Time (EST) - operates in New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, Tasmania and Queensland, 10 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
    Central Standard Time (CST) - operates in South Australia and the Northern Territory (half an hour behind EST, 9.5 hours ahead of GMT)
    Western Standard Time (WST) - operates in Western Australia (two hours behind EST, 8 hours ahead of GMT).

    Several Australian states observe daylight saving time during the summer season. In NSW, ACT, VIC, SA and WA, daylight savings time applies from the end of October to the end of March and in Tasmania from the beginning of October to the end of March. (In 2006 only, daylight saving begins on December 3 in WA). Queensland and the Northern Territory do not use daylight savings time. Due to the half hour difference between CST and EST, this means that during summer there are five different time zones operating in Australia: GMT+9 (WA), GMT+9.5 (NT), GMT+10 (Qld), GMT+10.5 (SA) and GMT+11 (NSW, ACT, Vic, Tas).


  • Australia History

    The continent of Australia was apparently first settled more than 40,000 years ago with successive waves of immigration of Aboriginal peoples from south and south-east Asia. With rising sea levels after the last Ice Age, Australia became largely isolated from the rest of the world and the Aboriginal tribes developed a variety of cultures, based on a close (spiritual) relationship with the land and nature, and extended kinship. Australian aborigines maintained a hunter/gatherer culture for thousands of years in association with a complex artistic and cultural life - including a very rich 'story-telling' tradition. While the 'modern impression' of Australian Aborigines is largely built around an image of the 'desert people' who have adapted to some of the harshest conditions on the planet (equivalent to the bushmen of the Kalahari), Australia provided a 'comfortable living' for the bulk of aborigines amongst the bountiful flora and fauna on the Australian coast - until the arrival of Europeans.

  • One day they are crawling, the next day they are driving and then suddenly they aren't kids anymore. As children reach adulthood, the parent-child relationship changes as parents learn to adapt to newly independent children. A new study by a University of Missouri professor explored the differences in how mothers and fathers interacted with their young adult children.
  • As from January, 2009, people with fair skin and those under the age of 18 will not be allowed to use solariums in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, the NSW Government has announced.
