Healthcare has become a global concern. In a competitive global market where information is shared instantly, consumers have all the knowledge and choices at their disposal. The internet enables the patients to seek out the best service providers, to make comparisons by themselves or to find out brokers and specialists services provider in host country like India.

We come from a culture of people expecting the government to provide health care, as we transition from a country where the private sector is playing such an important role.

Thus, there is a risk that if we lose sight of the practice of medicine as in part of a human discipline, a morally driven discipline, and if we look at the practice of medicine only as another market opportunity, then there will be values that will be lost.

All of which is to say that medical tourism ~ indeed, any surgery or other invasive medical procedure ~ is not to be undertaken lightly. If you want or need a medical procedure that might be performed less expensively or more quickly overseas, do your homework ~ especially when it comes to the accreditation and quality standards of hospitals you are considering and the training and certification of doctors who would treat you.

Before planning a trip, there are several things to keep in mind: Realize that you may not feel up to doing much after the procedure. Although some packages include activities, doctors say many patients should refrain from exercising or participating in other activities for days afterward:

++ Forget sunbathing by the pool. After many plastic surgeries, you'll have to
     avoid the sun until your skin has healed.

++ Find out when it's safe to fly home afterward. Many doctors discourage air
     travel after surgery for fear of health risks that include deep-vein thrombosis
     on long-haul flights.

++ Have a plan for follow-up care. You may want to ask the surgeon to for tel.
     medicine or video conferencing after care or ask your medical service
     provider how best to safeguard your interests.

Your Personal Health Care Risks

The medical treatment is carried out and after a usually brief period of recuperation the patient, having recovered, travels home. This may be acceptable for cosmetic surgery or basic dental treatment but not in the case of illnesses where recovery is dependent upon long term medical attention and extensive after-care. In many cases it is advisable for the after-care to be in the hands of doctors and assistants who have been well acquainted with the patient’s history for some time.

The patient usually is in hospital for only a few days, and then goes on the vacation portion of the trip or returns home. Complications, side-effects and post-operative care are then the responsibility of the medical care system in the patients' home country. Though follow-up or after care by the treating institution have been the best but still you should consider returning back home care if needed or if it arise.

People who travel across borders for surgery must be protected from negligence or malpractice or false advertising which concerns medical brokers as well insurance agents. So far, the industry of facilitating patients to other hospitals around the world, isn’t still very regulated at this time. This issue will probably be addressed in a near future.
