This is the time to always be practical in regards to spending since people everywhere don't have quite as much money to waste. One method to accomplish this is thru getting medical tourism services when ever you or maybe a loved one is sick and requires major medical treatment. Making use of a medical holiday from Philippine medical tourism will assure you will get the proper medical care you are looking for and deserve within a fraction of the cost.

One portion of your way of life which you can't do without is healthcare. Unfortunately, because of the rising costs of getting medical treatment, you'd spend lots of money purely to obtain the medical care that you require. As an example, getting hip replacement or heart surgery can amount to thousands of dollars, dollars that you could have allocated to your child's college fund or on the mortgage of your home.

You can't, nevertheless, just forget about having the surgery. Which puts you within a bind: how do you have the healthcare you will need without having to pay an exorbitant amount of cash?

Many people do this today as you may easily obtain the same degree of healthcare far away but cheaper. You'll be able to get the identical kind of treatment that you would receive in your very own country since you'll receive treatment from experienced experts who operate the same, and quite often even better, kind of apparatus you'd find at home.

Philippine medical tourism also makes it simple for foreign medical tourists in several ways. Philippine medical tourism companies offer special medical tourism packages which include the exact medical treatment, vacation packages, and perhaps concierge services.

The average medical tourism package you'd get would include the arrangement and scheduling of your respective medical check-ups and procedures which means you won't need to bother about anything. Medical packages also incorporate hotel accommodation and travel arrangements, and may even include leisure and holiday trip packages so you can relax and unwind after your treatment.

Another component of these kinds of tourism packages that medical tourists would find extremely helpful would be the concierge services offered. They can be offered a guide that can help them get through the culture and language barrier that can be the main hindrance to an enjoyable medical trip.

So if you have a medical condition that needs to be taken care of but you don't want to spend a ridiculously large sum of money, then you should consider Philippine medical tourism, which can offer you quality healthcare from highly trained professionals.

Do any US HMOs accredit hospitals in Asia specifically in the Philippines?

I used to do customer service for a major US healthcare incurance company and I noticed that there aren't any participating hospitals outside the US, especially in Asia. I am aware of the booming medical tourism trend going on in certain parts of Asia and as far as I know, they are not covered by US Insurance. I could be wrong, though. How far into the future do you think these US companies will open its doors to get participating providers outside US, and if there are such companies doing that now, which companies are these and what countries do they cover?

Certain US insurances are accepted by hospitals in the Philippines (i.e., Blue Cross covers you at St. Lukes). No, I do not think there will any US companies that will specifically go after the medical tourism market because (1) usually if someone is travelling overseas for surgery, it is due to lower cost and/or a procedure not covered by insurance and (2) it would be very hard to control fraud cases.

An Overview of Global Medical Tourism

The last few years— definitely not amounting to a decade— has witnessed the rapid growth of medical tourism industry by leaps and bounds. Studies have shown that medical tourism industry generates about US$20 billion dollars per year and the figure is expected to double by 2011.

The essence of medical tourism is nothing but traveling to offshore locations or beyond one's home country to another country for the purpose of healthcare. Most people take up medical travel for health checks, elective surgery like—joint replacement (knee/hip), cardiac surgery, dental surgery and cosmetic surgeries, alternative medicine and spa/ wellness related purpose. According to a recent study listed by International Medical Travel Journal, over 130 countries worldwide offer or ‘wish to offer' medical tourism services. It doesn't come as a surprise to acknowledge it given the fact that the industry has a huge revenue turnover in the world platform.

In addition, citizens of the United States, Canada and Europe constitute the bulk of recipients for medical treatment abroad. The year 2009 witnessed nearly 60,000 Britons traveling abroad to obtain medical treatment clubbed with a full fledged vacation at the same time. Currently, there are about 28 countries catering to medical tourists that practically sums up to more than two million foreign patients in a year. Today, Asian countries like India, Thailand, Singapore and Philippines have become some of the most popular medical tourism destinations in the world.

Costa Rica in the South American belt is among the most favored destinations for cosmetic surgery, well-known for its state-of-the-art hospitals and highly skilled cosmetic surgeons. Tens of thousands of Americans travel every year to this beautiful exotic country to enjoy a grand, sandy, aquatic fun-filled holiday along with quality healthcare sessions. Without a doubt, the main reason for the rapid rise in the number of medical tourists from developed countries traveling globally for cheap plastic surgery speaks volume about the soaring medical costs in the developed nations. Costa Rica has a rich scenic beauty and that is why it is the first choice for eco-tourism destination coupled with a comparatively affordable plastic surgery and other healthcare services price. The plastic surgeons of this soil are internationally trained equipped with cutting-edge methods and medical technology.

Medical tourism is a multi-billion dollar industry and plastic surgery medical tourism has shown remarkable increase in recent years. A brief random comparison of cosmetic prices in Costa Rica and the US gives significant insight into the potentials of the industry. A liposuction surgery in the US may cost up to $8000 depending upon the number of areas of the body under the procedures whereas it is a little over $4000 in Costa Rica. The affordability in the medical costs, leisure aspect and safe health care procedures make medical tourism a viable option for many people around the world.

Help me decide what course to take please?

I will study in a Uni here in Australia. I just cant decide what course to take. In your on point of view, which is better? also considering the future income i can get..

Psychology
Marketing
International Business
Management
Dentistry (thats what my father wants)

actually i dont really know what i wanted to be. please help me. I took tourism for a year in the Philippines (where im from) but i dont wanna be a FA anymore. I can also imagine mself workin in a big company, have my own office, or have a dental clinic maybe so that im a boss of my own.. what do you think?

You have to look at things in terms of the returns they will produce stacked up against the investment you have to make. As a dentist, you will make a lot of money. However, this means going to get a bachelor's degree, then med school, THEN learning to be a dentist. You're talking at least 8 years of your life for that degree.

Management, international business, and marketing are all good choices, but not the best. If I were to rank business degrees in order of income and job opportunities it would be as follows:

Accounting
Economics
Finance
Management Information Systems
International Business
Business Management
Marketing

As you can see, the three business fields you chose are at the bottom. This is not because I have a particular affinity or distaste for any of the fields (marketing was my first major, and management my second), it's about the realities of the business world. Marketing is very difficult to find a good position in when you graduate, and you're likely to be stuck in sales for a large chunk of time. Management doesn't mean jack unless you have professional training in another field already, otherwise you'll be a secretary for the first five years of your life. International Business is good, but you have to invest a lot of time in multicultural studies, so it will take you longer and your job opportunities will be sporadic. Management Information Systems (MIS) is growing in value, and I'm not sure its ranking is very deserved, and I might have to reconsider that in the future. It is invaluable to be able to build and quantify managerial databases. Finance is awesome, the problem is most companies are looking for finance majors with masters degrees in accounting, so you might as well do accounting. Economics is also a great option, but the investment is longer (typically you should go for your doctorate) and the concepts get pretty advanced. Accounting requires about five years of school instead of the standard four, but can get you six figures (100,000 US and up) within three to five years after college, and it is the second highest demand job in the job market at the moment.

Now, going into psychology, I wouldn't really bother unless you really love the subject. It is interesting and all, but that bachelor's degree won't get you far. You really have to get your doctorate if you are going to go into psychology, and that's about 7 to 8 years of commitment there.

Have you heard of medical tourism? Would you like to be treated in India or the Philippines?

If the total cost would be 1/10 of what you would pay if you were in Europe or America?

I have bad experience with this subject. Sometime ago I used to work as a nurse in a clinic of haemodyalisis. Most of our patients who made a kidney transplantation in countries such as India, Pakistan etc. had number of postsurgical complications including contamination with Hep. B and C, infections and organ rejection.
In 1998 I went to Pakistan (Lahore) with a patient for kindney transplantation. The hospital was private and it was clean according to the local standards. The surgery itself was successful, but after a week in the hospital we were moved to a hotel and the living conditions there were critical,especially for a person after organ transplantation where hygiene is a major priority. In 5 days we flew back to Europe, having chages of climate and weather. The patient had a low immune protection (due to immunosuppressing treatment. He had a viral infection(common cold), which costed him his life. My opinion is to have the treatment in Europe, America or South Africa where the medicine is advanced and the post surgery treatment is on appropriate level. I have been to South Africa with a patient for a medical treatment, it's very good. It's a bit cheaper than Europe and America and they have excellent doctors and hospitals. Don't forget your health is the most important thing in your life, choose the best option. Good luck.

Medical Tourism: Traveling For Health

 

Medical tourism is all the rage in many countries nowadays. Many patients who require complex surgeries or medical procedures for their ailments are now traveling abroad to get treated. Patients from UK, USA, and many other developed countries are moving to Asian countries like India, Hong Kong, Malaysia, China, Singapore, Philippines, and Thailand. In these countries, these people receive superior healthcare at a fraction of what it would cost in their homeland.

Reasons for people opting for medical tourism

There are many reasons for which people from developed countries choose to get their ailments treated abroad. Some of the important reasons include:

 

1. The quality of healthcare services that they find in the other countries often rivals what they would receive at home. Most of the doctors and healthcare professionals are highly qualified. Besides, most hospitals and healthcare facilities are equipped with state of the art provisions for treatment.
2. The cost of treatment in the countries noted for medical tourism is often a fraction of what is required for same services at developed countries. In fact, for a fraction of the price required in US for a heart bypass, patients from US can travel to India, get treated, and top it off with a small vacation at any popular tourist destination within the country.
3. Employer-sponsored healthcare policies are now starting to include complete cost coverage of healthcare for employees who travel abroad to get treated. This has resulted in the employees getting good healthcare and the employer having to pay much less.
4. Some contagious diseases, such as, tuberculosis, typhoid, and malaria are often misdiagnosed in developed countries because most doctors and healthcare officials believe such diseases cannot happen in their country. In tropical countries like India, Malaysia, Philippines, etc., doctors are more open to accepting the possibility that the patient might indeed have a contagious disease.
5. Last, but not the least, many insurance companies in the developed countries are now providing full coverage of the healthcare costs incurred by the insured patient choosing to get treatment done abroad. The patients are happy because they are getting good healthcare plus the benefit of a vacation, while the insurance company has to pay a much smaller amount to the patient.

 

All these benefits have inspired many patients in developed countries to opt for treatments for their ailments in foreign country. In the coming years, health tourism is expected to gain even more popularity.

Highly and unlikely for you to get such information's however, a little bit more details would land you a lot of good answers.

The primary advantage of having surgery done in the Philippines is the cost. On the average, a typical breast augmentation will cost around 7000-8000 USD in the United States. In the Philippines, this will cost around 3000-4000 USD at the present market rate.

Filipinos are known to be cheerful, caring, and compassionate. They are warm and very hospitable. Nursing care provided by Filipinos in Britain is legendary as is in the United States. This holds the same for doctors. Their unique characteristics makes them excel in the healthcare industry.

Although cost is a primary consideration, it should not be the only factor to determine one's choice of surgeon. Wherever you are in the world, choosing the right plastic surgeon is the most important decision you will have to make.
