Welcome to my blog on Medical Tourism or Medical Value Travel

Here I would like us to debate contentious issues as also success stories of the Medical Value Travel or the Medical Tourism phenomenon. I hope all of us here can freely exchange views and get some constructive suggestions. I will also conduct regular polls to identify trends in the industry globally.

Exclusive tie up to help clients better - Fortis Healthcare

In the past few years there has been a profusion of companies and individuals who have decided to jump onto the medical tourism bandwagon. Hospitals too want a piece of the pie (Though not to many people know what is the size of the pie) as everyone feels this is the next biggest thing after the IT and BPO outsourcing wave of the past decade. 2010-2020 might be the decade for Medical outsourcing.

There are very little differences between facilitators and it becomes difficult for patients to corroborate information on doctors, facilities etc. Most individuals still spend a lot of time searching through the web to locate information on the best facilities or the best doctors. All facilitators tie up with multiple hospitals to enable their patients get a choice. But often it confuses prospective clients as it is difficult to understand why one facilitator pushes one doctor or hospital more than the other (possible monetary temptations here).

Realizing this, after 3 years of working as a company that dealt with a chain of various hospitals, I decided in 2010 to work alongside Fortis Healthcare on an exclusive basis. The benefits Recover Discover gets is that its clients get preferred care and they have access to the entire range of healthcare services available right across Delhi/NCR. An additional advantage is that with the Fortis takeover of Wockhardt Hospitals, now the Fortis network has 3 JCI Accredited ( http://www.jointcommissioninternational.org/) facilities. JCI Accreditation is the Gold Standard for Global Recognition of Patient care and Best in Class Healthcare Practices.

I am very confident that this new partnership will open up a higher level of care for my clients.
