Dear Indrajit,
I have recently joined a reputed hospital to work as Commercial Manager. Your ppt seems to be a nice read. Can I go thro' it?

OUR PROBLEMS


India is still a developing country and has several inherent problems
There is a negative perception about the country because of poor hygiene and sanitation
No uniformity of quality and accreditation is now becoming a reality
Medical insurance is still in its infancy and has a very low penetration Flight connectivity needs attention Infrastructural woes continue to affect the airports, roads and power Save for the initiatives taken by a few organised players, there has been no focused marketing till now

THEIR PROBLEMS

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE
The knowledge about medical tourism is mostly shared by word-of- mouth or by persons who are internet savvy
LACK OF TRUST
Patients from developed countries are still sceptical of the quality of medical care abroad, and doubly sceptical of ventures that have no personal or local contacts
LACK OF FOLLOW-UP
Continuity in health care is a major cause for concern. There are many stories on the internet about the people who opted for treatment abroad, but returned home without follow-up care and suffering complications
LACK OF MEDICAL LIABILITY
Patients from developed countries know that they have legal recourse to medical malpractice for healthcare in their countries. This is often not true of procedures that take place overseas, and are not under their legal jurisdiction

You are uninsured or under insured and would have to dig deep into your pockets to be able to afford health care at home.

Or the treatment you want simply isn't available in your country. If that's the case, then medical tourism is the answer to your problem.

It's easy to hop on a plane and catch the next flight to your surgical destination. But before you do that there are a lot of things that you should know and do to make your medical tourism trip safe and successful. Here is a list that will assist you in travel planning. Keep in mind to check these sites.
