Patient Outsourcing through Medical Tourism
Earlier, wealthy citizens of developing countries used to visit developed countries like U.S and Europe to gain
access to advanced medical care. Of late, the ‘Medical Tourism’ wave seems to have reversed this trend. It is
now the Western patient’s turn to travel offshore for First-World healthcare at Third-world prices.

It all began about a decade ago, when patients in need of quality healthcare started looking at viable options for
medical care in ‘Medical hubs’ like India and Thailand. Exotic destinations like these were no more considered
as hide outs for recuperating from face lifts and nose jobs. Even those who needed non-elective medical
treatments began flying abroad in pursuit of quality healthcare at lower prices. Initially, medical tourism occurred
outside the purview and control of organized healthcare systems. (Read more)

Corneal transplant to restore full vision

Corneal transplantation is a surgical procedure in which damaged or diseased cornea is replaced with donor
corneal tissue. It is alternatively known as corneal grafting or penetrating keratoplasty. Corneal transplantation is
the only means of restoring full vision of a clouded cornea. If the rest of the eye functions normally, cornea can be
transplanted and vision can be restored. Most patients who have undergone cornea transplant surgery have
reported vision restoration and high level of satisfaction with the outcome of the procedure. However, it should be
remembered that the success of the surgery depends on the extent of normalcy of other parts of the eye.

Preparing for the surgery: Your initial consultation with the surgeon should be scheduled a few weeks before the
surgery. During the consultation, the doctor makes a thorough examination of the eye to determine the health of
the eye and will tell you whether you are a good candidate for corneal transplantation or not. Ask the doctor any
questions that you have about the procedure. You may also be required to take up a couple of lab tests before
the surgery. (Read more)

Surrogacy in India-Delivering more for less!

Surrogacy gives a woman a chance to experience motherhood, when she is unable give birth by natural means.
But surrogate mothers in the U.S. cost anywhere between $50,000 to $100,000. Moreover, surrogacy is ridden
with many legal hassles in the U.S. These factors make it extremely difficult for American couples to bear
children through surrogate mothers.
However, there is hope in the form of medical tourism for couples who wish to opt for surrogacy. India, especially,
is emerging as a hub for IVF and surrogate births. More and more couples are choosing to come to India in the
hope of taking home their very own bundle of joy. Reasons for India's success in this form of reproductive
outsourcing include:

Affordable surrogacy:
The entire surrogacy process in India costs anywhere between $20,000 to $35,000 and includes doctors fees,
medicines, pre-natal care, delivery, legal charges as well as surrogate compensation. It's just one-fourth the cost
of surrogacy in U.S.
The IVF procedure, which is a part of the surrogacy process, costs around $2,500, a real steal compared to the
sky high charges in U.S. hospitals. (Read more)
