The Quality of Medical Treatment and Surgery in Poland
MTA Poland asked:
The medical sector is undergoing radical changes. The changes are mostly visible in Poland, where private and public healthcare providers have to compete for a patient by offering the highest quality of medical services.
Many medical institutes introduced TQM rules – total quality management, in the early 70s. This management method consists in production of the better quality products in order to compete with other organizations on the market. This began the process of improving the healthcare services in Poland, which was translated into the patient’s satisfaction.
The quality of medical services goes hand in hand with medical standards. Polish medical standards show the right path of medical and therapeutic proceedings. The medical regulations are drown up by medical science societies in each country. Poland as European Union member uses the medical standards that meets EU regulations. Legal acts require performing duties in accordance with the actual and medical knowledge of medical staff. The level of medical education in Poland is very high and many of the Polish specialist doctors were valued overseas. Poland is a leader in some medical disciplines, such as cardiosurgery or orthopaedy. However, the appropriate medical services standards are connected not only with the education and experience but also with the available medical equipment. Together with the private healthcare development the access of the most modern medical equipment in Poland has been improved. This mainly apply to the clinics specializing in plastic surgery, cosmetic medicine, dermatology, dentistry, ect. However the general private hospitals are also built in Poland. The biggest and the most modern private hospital in Poland, Medicover hospital in Warsaw, provides complex medical services Polish and foreign patients.
The figures shows that more and more overseas patients who are looking for best medical treatment at affordable prices, visit Poland. The MTA Poland representative (medical tourism agency organizing medical packages to Poland) says that medical tourists who comes to Poland for a surgery or medical treatment are more and more aware of the high quality medical services in Poland. They entrust their health and life to the Polish medical specialist and have to be sure about the safety of the procedure. The most popular are plastic surgery procedures (liposuction, ****** surgery), aesthetic medicine (Fraxel laser, Macrolane), dental treatment (dental implants, veneers) but also elective surgery and orthopaedy (hip and knee replacement). MTA Poland’s clients are satisfied with the final results and usually they stay in Poland for their rehabilitation period.
The responsibility of providing the best available quality of medical services lies with healthcare providers in Poland, so it is essential to have a permanent in-service training courses for medical staff as well as gradual modernizing of medical facilities. Polish private clinics use the same branded materials and equipment that are used in the UK. What’s more every dental clinic in Poland offer a guarantee on prosthetic work and on implants. The beneficiaries of high quality medical services in Poland are not only Poles but also Brits and other foreigners.

Indian Medical Travel Association asked:
Leading Indian Hospitals, Healthcare providers (both Modern Medicine and Traditional Indian Medicine), Travel and Medical Tourism Industry providers have come together to form an industry association – Indian Medical Travel Association (IMTA) that aims to work together to make India the leading global healthcare destination.
The phenomenon now popularly known as Medical Tourism is often cited as the next big opportunity for India after the IT outsourcing to earn billions of dollars in forex earnings and create jobs in the healthcare sector. So far only a select group of Indian hospitals have been making valiant attempts to market their services in international arena. More than a million overseas patients already treated at top Indian corporate hospitals like Apollo, Fortis, Wockhardt, Max, Manipal and many others have already proved to the world that the clinical quality, technology and cost proposition offered by India is unmatched. The capacity in super specialty segment Indian hospitals is expanding fast and there is no waiting period for local or overseas patients.
CII Mc’Kinsey study first reported on medical tourism as the billion dollar opportunity for India way back in 2002 and the steady growth in overseas patient arrivals has validated the potential. With a large number of new private super specialty hospitals and even integrated health cities coming up in India’s top ten cities, India has the potential to become the global leader in the Medical Travel/ Outsourcing industry. Indian doctors and professionals are world renowned for their skills and the country has abundance of all the inputs like talented young manpower, local high quality manufacturing base for pharmaceuticals, technology hardware and software that makes the Indian costs for high end surgical procedures so attractive. The challenge really is on the non medical side, primarily on the marketing front and also to create infrastructure and services to support the growth of medical tourism.
Indian Medical Travel Association (IMTA) - a non profit body and a unified voice of the Indian healthcare (modern medicine as well as traditional Indian medicine) and travel industry is aimed at preparing India for facing the challenges of global competition and actualise the tremendous opportunity for India to become a leading global healthcare destination. Modern medicine as well as India’s 5000 year old traditional therapies like Ayurveda, Siddha and Yoga can offer to the world an unbeatable healing package.
“IMTA would strive to help its members reach out in a cost effective manner to millions of our potential global consumers who reside on the other side of the globe in a different time and cultural zone and make them aware of the tremendous value that Indian healthcare offers. The fact is that prior to choosing a hospital, the international patients first decide on the country or the destination. Therefore we all must join hands to aggressively promote INDIA as a preferred global healthcare destination,” Says Pradeep Thukral, Executive Director, Indian Medical Travel Association (IMTA)
The Government of India and its various arms are actively supporting the growth of medical tourism to India. In a message to IMTA, the Union Tourism Minister, Kumar Shailaja conveyed “This is indeed a commendable initiative and we all know the tremendous opportunity that Medical Tourism presents for India. On behalf of the Ministry of Tourism, I would like to provide all possible support this industry initiative and would like to wish IMTA and its members great success in their efforts.
Two years ago the Government of India introduced a special category of Visa called M Visa for foreigners desirous of coming to India for medical treatment. India’s Ministry of Tourism has achieved phenomenal success in last five years with its much acclaimed “Incredible India “campaign that has multiplied the arrival of foreign tourists to India. The current year 2009 is being promoted by Indian Ministry of Tourism as “Visit India’” year and the ministry is keen to promote Medical Tourism. It has recently notified the Market Development Assistance (MDA) Scheme to eligible Medical Tourism players which enables them to get financial support for participation in overseas promotional events.
