Medical Overseas Procedure


Rising health care costs  push people to seek medical treatments elsewhere, while medical facilities in developing countries have not only caught up to western standards but also in many ways exceeded them. Health care costs have skyrocketed, something of which anybody contemplating medical treatment is acutely aware. For most people needing medical care, the last thing on their minds is travel.  Medical Overseas tourists are usually surprised to find brand new facilities and equipment as hospitals and medical tourism around the world join in the fierce competition for this fast growing market. 


"Medical Tourism", or "Medical Overseas" the name for the new practice of going overseas to receive medical treatment and perhaps get a bit of travel in on the side, is becoming a very popular option for many.  Medical Overseas tourists travel to places like India, Thailand, Panama, and Argentina, for example. These countries have strongly emerging economies, and have correspondingly made significant investment in their medical capabilities. That translates to quality care at reasonable cost. Diagnostics and tests are done in the same facility, the prognosis and treatment follow immediately. Billing is easy too.  It is just a matter of presenting a credit card for the final bill, often determined by an up-front quote.


Price is the major factor that first leads patients to look for Medical Overseas for health care.  There are a number of other benefits that often escape notice, although, the price remains the prime motivator for most people.  Medical Overseas has its downfalls, and the Medical Overseas tourists should be familiar with possible problems and have an idea what is right for them before planning the details of a trip. 


Price is the main reason most people initially cite for their decision to go Medical overseas. Foreign hospitals are far more willing to provide upfront prices. This is excellent for planning purposes and comparing options.  Those looking in to Medical Overseas can expect more honesty up-front and fewer hidden costs than those considering a US hospital.


The doctors you will see were very likely trained in the US at some point in their careers, or they have worked in the US, or they are participating very actively in the international medical community. The doctors are quite competent  and they are up on the latest medical technologies and treatment. In some cases, they are even leading their respective fields.


Medical Overseas tourism is often as much about the tourism as the medicine.  For those undergoing major surgery, there is no better place to recover than a bungalow with a view of the beach while recovering.  Similarly, for family accompanying a patient, a  week at the beach or a shopping spree can clear up a lot of stress following a surgery.


Is Medical Overseas right for you? If you are not insured and the cost of a medical procedure is looming over your head, or if your insurance will not cover a procedure you need or want because it is classified as an 'elective' procedure, you are a prime candidate for investigating treatment overseas.

  • Salvador Restaurants
    The outlying districts have a good selection of restaurants; Chinese joints seem especially plentiful in Barra.

    Yemanj?, Av. Ot?vio Mangabeira 9292, Pitub? (231-5570). A widely-recommended typical Bahian restaurant. [edit] -


  • Salvador Sleep
    Salvador's lodging options are basically divided between the hotels in the Cidade Alta and those in the beach districts. There are also hostels in Pelourinho that are reasonably priced, but noisy at night.

    Sao Jorge [1], in Pelourinho, charges 50 Real a night for a double room (May 2006).
    Amaralina Praia, Av. Otavio Mangabeira 197, 248-9998. Located in the southernmost beach district, so you'll need to take a taxi to get into the old town. Not the best choice for a good night's sleep, as the open-air bar next door can be noisy. -

Plastic Surgery News...

  • Clinicians have been perplexed by the fact that some patients given the drug cetuximab -- an immune-based therapy commonly used to treat persons diagnosed with head and neck cancer, or colon cancer -- have a severe and rapid adverse reaction to the drug. Sometimes the reaction includes anaphylaxis, a life-threatening condition characterized by a drop in blood pressure, fainting, difficulty breathing, and wheezing. Now researchers funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, have discovered that specific pre-existing antibodies cause the severe reaction to the drug.

  • The Economic Research and Analytics group at Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that it will be hosting its first quarter analyst briefing on Trends and Emerging Opportunities in the Russian Healthcare Industry on 12 February 2008 at 4pm GMT / 11am EST.
