Why Seeking Medical Treatment Abroad Makes Sense
Nancy Wee asked:
Medical tourism was once something that was only done by the idle rich, looking for cheap cosmetic surgery, but now more and more Americans are taking advantage of the health care that is offered in foreign countries. Find out why, even with the cost of airfare and travel, that medical tourism has become a valuable option for Americans requiring surgery and other medical treatments!
With the costs of medical procedures and health insurance rising every year in America, the new trend of Americans seeking medical care abroad makes perfect sense. Health insurance, which was once an American’s first protection against the debilitating cost of procedures like CAT scans and surgery is now turning into more and more of a liability. Rising premiums coupled with inadequate co-pays have rendered some health insurance nearly useless and the cost that you will pay out of pocket is quickly rising to astronomical levels. Moreover, if you are one of the more than 46 million Americans without health insurance of any kind (or one of the many more whose health insurance is inadequate) medical tourism might be your path to escaping a financial burden that could follow you for years.
There are many Americans who can benefit from foreign health care, but the ones who stand to benefit the most will be those who are underinsured or lack insurance entirely. Essentially, if you fall into either of those categories, you will find a system that that is compatible with small (for Americans) cash payments and where your dollar will stretch farther. The accommodations in these hospitals are usually fairly luxurious, as most of the locals will use the public hospitals and the private hospitals will find themselves caring for tourists, who can more easily afford them.
When Americans travel abroad, one thing they quickly recognize is the completely affordable, more than competent health care that is available in countries like Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippine and India. These five countries are ranked as the best one to visit for health care and it is easy to see why. For instance, in Thailand, the costs stay low because doctors pay significantly less in malpractice insurance than do their Western counterparts. Similarly, hospitals in Thailand don’t spend the enormous amount of money on processing insurance claims because most of the payments more than 75 percent) are handled via cash payments.
In light of today’s American medical health crisis, you owe it to yourself and your loved ones to investigate the opportunities that medical tourism provides. Find out what so many medical tourists already know; a little research now can save you a lot of trouble and money later on!

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.
