Planning a medical
tour in the near future? Consider the following pointers to look into before
leaving home. Following these steps can save you a bucket load of money and
also understand the intricacies of medical tourism.
The first step would
be to carry out a well-spanned research on the country your planning to carry
out your treatment; learn about their health care industry, the quality of the
professionals available, compare costs and inquire about various medical
tourists agencies in terms of reputation, client servicing, their industry
networks etc.
Once you’ve singled
out an agency of your choice, have a detailed run through of the estimated
costs of the whole package. At this point we need not mentioned that the final
figure should be below the estimated cost of doing it in your own country.
If your happy with the
pricing you can move on to discuss regarding the other aspects of the travel
itenary such as visa processing, accommodation, booking appointments, travel
options etc.
In most countries, getting a tourist visa is
relatively easy but most tourists aren't aware of the eligibility, benefits and
procedure of obtaining one. Accommodation options for travellers could vary
from luxury hotels and resorts to apartments and homestays depending on the
budget and agency your with.
Next, You can also
look up the hospitals and shortlist your preferred doctors of choice at this stage. A good practice would be to get
in touch with your medical tourism agency and talk to them about the hospitals
and experts you would be considering for your treatment as hiccups in medical are rare if they do take place, they
happen mostly at this stage. So book your appointments well in advance and plan
your journey in coherence with your scheduled appointments.
Another factor to look into is you commute. In
some places local transport can be messy and you don't want to get lost in a
foreign country, especially if the first language of the country isn't english.
So plan your travel in advance or discuss with your agency if travel is also
included in their package and if so what are the options available. Lastly,
most travelers seeking treatments abroad for minor treatments never fail to
explore the touristy side of the country, after all you are on a fully paid travel
package. So don't forget to include in your itenary, the budget for a detour
and explore the local culture and cuisine during your sojourn and plan your
trip accordingly. You can check with your agency for affordable tour packages
or plan your own trip!
These tips will
guarantee you have a cost effective and pleasant experience while abroad.
