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.

Plastic Surgery News...

  • The existing research and development and business model of the pharmaceutical industry is failing pregnant women, according to a leading maternal-fetal medicine researcher, now based at The University of Queensland.
  • The US Food and Drug Administration and GlaxoSmithKline have notified pharmacists and physicians of the need to provide “Medication Guides” when dispensing rosiglitazone (Avandia). Medication guides address issues that are specific to particular drugs and drug classes, and they contain FDA-approved information that can help patients avoid serious adverse events. The FDA requires that Medication Guides be issued with certain prescribed drugs and biological products when the Agency determines that: • certain information is necessary to prevent serious adverse effects • patient decision-making should be informed by information about a known serious side effect with a product, or • patient adherence to directions for the use of a product are essential to its effectiveness.
