What is Medical Travel?
“Medical Travel” is a term to describe the trend where people travel from one part of the world to another to obtain medical, dental, and surgical care.
Is medical Travel Safe?
This is the first, and probably the most important question that comes to mind when talking about medical traveling.
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 & 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. This assures that 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.
•Medical staff with experience working in medical institutions in US, Europe or other advanced countries is preferred.
• Certified by one of the leading medical prosthesis manufacturering company in the world.
• 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.
• Licensed to practice in their home country.
What Procedures are available?
Medical, cosmetic, dental, diagnostics, infertility and cancer treatment, and many other medically-related and surgical procedures.
How much will it cost or Save?
Yes you will definitely save. You are likely to save between 40% – 90% depending on your condition and surgical procedures.
Why does it cost so Little?
The difference in cost is caused by labor and insurance costs, and not by a lack of quality. A good portion of health care costs in the U.S. and UK are tied up with administrative (labor cost) and insurance costs.
Is quality Guaranteed?

Do I need to tell my Doctor?
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.
Can I book my own travel arrangements?
As part of our services we are happy to organize your travel and accommodation for you. You are however, free to organize your own arrangements though you will be responsible for ensuring that your travel coincides with any medical treatment.
