“Medical Tourism”… yes that is the name of a new magazine

September 5, 2007

You’ve seen the reports on TV, you’ve read some of the stories in the papers, now you will have an entire magazine devoted to the topic. Medical Tourism, the new monthly publication that debuts this October, will be distributed free to the “50 million uninsured in America and also to those decision makers in US healthcare.” Jonathan Edelheit, the president of the Medical Tourism Association told me in an e mail that the magazine and the organization are “dedicated to helping to solve the American HealthCare crisis by allowing the 50 million Americans without insurance information on going overseas to foreign countries for surgery and healthcare, where the prices are almost 80% less and the quality of care is equal to the United States. Many Americans die each year or live in pain because they do not know going overseas is a viable option.” The magazine will cover issues “such as the quality of care overseas, legal issues with seeking medical care overseas, the cost of care, and even exposing things such as why the same manufacturer of parts for a hip replacement charges $9,000 in the US, but only $2,000 in India for the same parts.” So next time you are in need of healthcare, why not plan a trip to ease the pain (of both yourself and your pocket book) and increase the gain of the world being flat. To your health will gain a brand new meaning after the first issue of Medical Tourism will be out. For more information on the magazine and the organization click here.

    Yes Medical tourism is the future and particularly India’s private healthcare system has made tremendous progress. The availability of low cost – high quality medical care at the state of the art, internationally accredited hospitals like Wockhardt Hospitals Group – which is a part of Harvard Medical International is poised to make India a “global healthcare destination”

    Recently one of my uncles went to India for hip surgery at Wockhardt Hospitals and his whole experience was really positive. The only option otherwise for him was to mortgage his house and raise money for surgery at local hospital. So many US patients are now taking this option, just check out testimonials on following weblink

    We have already published a paper entitled “Medical Tourism: a global analysis” in February 2006, which we are updating for publication in February 2007, maybe the publishers of this new magazine would be interested in contacting us?
