Apart from Expert Medical Consultants, Courteous English speaking Support Staff attracts Westerners to South East Asia

“In Western countries, exorbitant cost of treatment especially surgery is often a deterrent for patients, especially the ones not covered by insurance. This often eggs patients in Western countries to travel to low cost treatment nations such as in South East Asia. Recent economic development in emerging economies of Asia Pacific has been a key reason behind the modernization of healthcare services. This, supported by government initiatives and funds from large business houses, healthcare services in emerging economies is witnessing a complete facelift. Medical experts, state-of-the-art medical equipment, plush hospitals, and courteous English speaking personnel are some key attractions because of which medical tourism is receiving a boost in these regions,” says the author of the report.

Another factor fuelling the medical tourism market is the absence of modern healthcare and lack of skilled medical personnel in underdeveloped regions. Due to economic and political reasons, several countries in Africa lack adequate healthcare infrastructure. Diamond traders and business honchos who have made Africa home for wealth creation often travel to developing countries for medical tourism. To serve such needs, the global medical tourism market receives a boost.

Negligence of Nursing Staff and System loopholes hampers Growth

In emerging economies, governments are extending immense support to foster medical tourism. For example, in India, easy transportation, comfortable lodging, and training in multiple foreign languages are closely looked after to serve patients and their families who travel for medical tourism. Large hospital trusts such as the Apollo Group of Hospitals have lodging facilities for individuals accompanying patients to India for medical tourism.

However, incidence of misdiagnosis and negligence on part of nursing staff have had set back on the growth of medical tourism industry.

Nevertheless, gains of quality healthcare experienced by overseas patients in friendly, homely environments outweigh the loopholes in healthcare systems in developing countries. This serves to be a plus for the medical tourism market.
