After having a heart attack, James was asked to undergo a bypass surgery. Though James knew that he was risking his life by not going for the surgery, he was helpless because he was neither insured nor did he have enough money to pay for the surgery.
Like James, thousands of uninsured and underinsured patients from affluent countries are left in a vulnerable position since they cannot bear the high cost of surgery. But now there is a twist to this story. James happened to read about affordable medical treatment through medical tourism and set off to India for his bypass surgery. He underwent bypass surgery from one of the top heart surgeons in the world, in the comfort of a world class hospital that offered to provide treatment at one fourth of the cost back home. He even managed to squeeze in a vacation, well within his budget, before returning home with a healthy heart and a rejuvenated body.
Medical tourism to India is a beacon of hope for many uninsured and underinsured patients from various countries who delay treatment either due to cost deficiencies or long waiting lists. Medical tourism in India is an answer to both these problems. The volume of medical tourism in India is increasing in volume with each passing year and India is pitted against other medical tourism destinations like Mexico, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia as the global leader in healthcare.
Healthcare in India is one of the best in the world. Millions of medical tourists get treated in India and also enjoy recuperative holidays in beautiful locales before returning home. All this at just a fraction of the cost of treatment back home. Both parties i.e. the healthcare providers in India and the medical tourists coming to India for treatment have acknowledged and appreciated the benefits of medical tourism.
The success stories of patients who have received safe and affordable medical treatment in India have given confidence to many patients across different countries in the world to consider getting quality medical treatment in India and flying back home with a healthy body and peaceful mind. On the other hand, the government and health care providers in India have taken various measures to promote medical tourism in India.
The Indian Government has been providing medical visa for a period of one year from the date of arrival. Two family members of the patient are also granted medical visa for staying with the patient along the course of treatment. Health care providers have widened their service options in order to make medical tourism hassle free for the patients. Working in this direction, hospitals in India are offering “corporate medical tourism” services that are intended to take care of every need of the medical tourist including pick up at the airport, monitoring hospital stay and planning a vacation and looking into other needs during their stay in India. Indian medical service providers are also moving into the new area of “medical outsourcing” where sub contractors provide services to the overburdened medical care systems in Western countries. Medical tourism is witnessing a fast paced growth and more healthcare professionals are offering quality health care at affordable prices to the global patient. Be it receiving quality health care, affordable treatment or a new business opportunity, medical tourism is here to stay.
Asias medical tourism is a medical tourism and dental tourism facilitator based in India. It is a one stop source for both health care providers and medical tourists to meet each other and benefit mutually. It is a comprehensive source with information about various medical procedures including Hip replacement surgery, Knee replacement, Cardiac surgeries, Dental procedures, Cosmetic surgeries, Alternative health treatments and the like. It also provides a list of health care providers in India, from whom medical tourists can get quality medical service.
Dale Corner works as a scientist who researches across various health care subjects. She is also an avid reader of health articles and news across established health tourism portals like Asia?s Medical Tourism. Through her articles she wishes to inform and educate public about those medical procedures that are and of great help to patients who want to get treated for a particular ailment.
Find Malaysia Today here at http://mt.harapanmalaysia.com to keep on hearing Raja Petra’s voice of the news in Malaysia.
In the west successful democracies thrive on 5 pillars:
- low poverty level
- high education level
- each voice can speak in their own newspaper
- transparency
- politicians, police and lawyers are 3 complete independent bodies
Of course the above 5 pillars are the ideal situation and we all know that ideals are not the same as reality…
Now when it comes to Malaysia, the newspapers are highly under pressure not to upset whoever needs to grant them their yearly license in order to keep in business. This is now and already was in place during the Mahathir reign.
Quite surprisingly, it’s Dr. Mahathir today who is today condemning the government for retracing its long-held promise not to censor the Internet, in this case Raja Petra’s ‘controversial’ blog. Surprisingly when it comes to freedom of press, not surprisingly as Dr. Mahathir was the architect of freedom of speech on the Internet.
One does wonder: why on the Internet and why not in the newspaper? Or is there a link between the Internet have’s and have not’s and their level of education and income in the democratic ideals we stated above?
So what’s so funny about all this?
As if a blogger who is raising his voice so loud and controversial as Raja Petra won’t have a backup to put online in less than 24 hours fully operational as if nothing happened.
I mean: if police breaks into his house and is ordered to confiscate Raja Petra’s scanner, then it is clear that whoever is ordering these IT repercussions is not fully aware of the velocity of countering an IT and especially an Internet attack.
Raja Petra does say things on his blog that are controversial, but for these sayings he already has some law-suits pending, so was it really needed to again let the police confiscate his computer and for somebody ordering ISP’s to block his website?
What’s not at all funny is that when you let people not voice their thoughts, one day there will be a voice screaming thoughts so loud like what is happening on Raja Petra’s blog.
It’s going to take much more effort to silence the extremely loud voice of Malaysia Today…
