Have you heard of medical tourism? Would you like to be treated in India or the Philippines?


Question:
If the total cost would be 1/10 of what you would pay if you were in Europe or America?

Answers:
I have bad experience with this subject. Sometime ago I used to work as a nurse in a clinic of haemodyalisis. Most of our patients who made a kidney transplantation in countries such as India, Pakistan etc. had number of postsurgical complications including contamination with Hep. B and C, infections and organ rejection.
In 1998 I went to Pakistan (Lahore) with a patient for kindney transplantation. The hospital was private and it was clean according to the local standards. The surgery itself was successful, but after a week in the hospital we were moved to a hotel and the living conditions there were critical,especially for a person after organ transplantation where hygiene is a major priority. In 5 days we flew back to Europe, having chages of climate and weather. The patient had a low immune protection (due to immunosuppressing treatment. He had a viral infection(common cold), which costed him his life. My opinion is to have the treatment in Europe, America or South Africa where the medicine is advanced and the post surgery treatment is on appropriate level. I have been to South Africa with a patient for a medical treatment, it's very good. It's a bit cheaper than Europe and America and they have excellent doctors and hospitals. Don't forget your health is the most important thing in your life, choose the best option. Good luck.
