This is the first, and probably the most important question that comes to mind when talking about medical tourism.
Any medical surgery or procedure, no matter where it’s carried out, entails some risk. In order to reduce this risk, we work hard to research and provide our clients with information on various options for high quality medical facilities.
The following are some of the important things that we consider when we add any health care provider to our network (one or more of the below):
- ISO 9000 certified or accreditation from Joint Commission International (JCI), USA. (JCI is the international arm of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, which evaluates quality standards of US hospitals). If they are not yet accredited by either of these, they should at least be working towards these certifications or accreditations. They follow the best practices and quality standards in the industry.
- Track record of quality service, no waiting time, personal attention from doctors. Feedback that we get from previous patients enable us to obtain this information.
- Staff who speak English or have an English speaking interpreter available for international patients.
- Excellent infrastructure (clean A/C rooms, TV, Internet connectivity)
- Comfortable accommodation and facilities for any one accompanying the patient.
Medical, cosmetic, dental, diagnostics, infertility and cancer treatment, and many other medically related and surgical procedures. We also provide wellness treatments i.e. Ayurveda and Naturopathy.
Savings can be from 30-90%, depending upon the procedure and the destination.
Many of the doctors from these institutions have been educated and have worked in the USA or a developed European country.
Yes, we provide you with the doctor’s professional credentials.
You are not required to tell your doctor at home. However, we recommend that you discuss your thoughts about having a medical procedure abroad with your general practitioner. We can facilitate correspondence between your doctor and the relevant physician at one of our partner facilities, if you wish.
In rare cases if your doctor is against medical tourism, encourage him to do a research on the medical care facility and physicians we deal with. He/She will be surprised to know that these are better equipped than many local facilities.
Yes. If not, someone in their staff is competent in English and helps bridge any communication gap.
The companion can travel with you. He/she would need a valid passport and may need a visa as well (this depends on destination country and country of origin/citizenship). We can help in this regard.
This is where we come to your assistance. As an individual, not only finding the right medical center, but also the right accommodation that meets your and your companion’s comfort could be disquieting. Before you leave for your trip, we work with you to make sure you are booked in an accommodation of your choice and liking.

Compared to the savings in the medical costs, travel cost is usually negligible.

Patients most likely to use medical tourism are those whose medical insurance do not cover an expensive procedure at home, or the co pay is very high, or the medical procedure is not available at home. Another case is where there is a long queue for getting the medical help in their home country.
There is an inherent risk in every medical procedure. Our focus is to minimize the risks involved by working only with accredited hospitals, and certified medical professionals who deliver high quality of care.
