We care for you the best way we know how – like we would if our own mothers, fathers, sons, or daughters were seeking the same medical treatment abroad.
The medical tourism companies and health care providers on this site acknowledge that traveling international patients have additional needs in treatment and care that ordinary patients do not.
Some are have pioneered and developed the aspects of care that are key to traveling international patients receive the excellence in care they expect, the best outcomes for surgery and medical procedures, and the comprehensive care management to ensure these outcomes are supported and maintained.
Care of medical tourists
Our international patient care management for medical travelers – for you – is care that is intended to give you access to some of the finest medical doctors and surgeons in the world, and to ensure you have the best chance of an excellent outcome.
Many of us on this site have spoken at numerous conferences and meetings around the world about quality of care for the medical traveler. Hospital executives, doctors and medical travel agents have downloaded the publication Care and Management of the International Traveling Patient.
International patient care services include:
- Planning. Thorough and detailed preparation by a trained and experienced international patient coordinator including a medical evaluation and individualized pre-surgery instructions from your surgeon.
- Surgery. Surgery in a top, internationally recognized and accredited tertiary care hospital with an experienced, certified anesthesiologist and operating room nursing team who work closely with your team of surgeons.
- Medical team. A leading surgeon who is a specialist with 15 to 20 years of experience, using current techniques, procedures and equipment. You are encouraged to ask as many detailed questions as you want, and your surgeons will take time to answer them completely. If you are having general anesthesia for surgery, you will meet and be interviewed by the anesthesiologist. All surgeons speak excellent English.
- Medical concierge service and patient management. Ensuring you are well prepared for surgery and receive the appropriate monitoring and healing opportunities in the post-surgery recovery. Most people, whether traveling or staying at home for medical care, are poorly equipped, even in the best of circumstances, to take charge of their own care.
- Recovery. Immediate post-surgery recovery monitored by recovery room specialist doctors and nurses. You spend one or two nights in hospital – or longer if you prefer – with access to self-managed pain relief. Once discharged from the hospital, your recovery continues to be supervised by a Registered Nurse and a licensed physician in consultation with a medical concierge staff and international patient manager.
- Ongoing care management.From your first inquiry and continues through the procedure until you are ready to return home. After you return home, our medical support team continues to follow your progress for up to six weeks or longer as required for your continuing good recovery and health. Records and reports are sent as required to the appropriate doctors.
