Dubai, 23rd March 2011. More and more individuals dissatisfied with their healthcare system are willing to travel across borders to seek medical care, the industry known as ‘medical tourism’ is a burgeoning sector of the global healthcare industry.

Since medical travel involves so many intricacies, there are many risk factors that patients could experience giving them a negative impression of the industry. Dr. Prem Jagyasi, a leading medical tourism expert and global healthcare consultant has launched a comprehensive guidebook on medical travel that aims to educate consumers on the importance of planning and preparation for medical tourism in order to eliminate the complications typically reported in news stories.

Dr Prem Says “It is important for patients to remember that travelling across borders to access healthcare won’t put you at risk, rather the lack of meticulous planning and preparation before a medical journey will”.

As per resent medical tourism research he conducted, although there is a large amount of information available online as well as in print, many consumers remain uninformed, misinformed and confused about this alternative treatment option. Due to the lack of honest information on this industry, Dr. Prem Jagyasi, felt it was necessary to release an accurate guidebook to educate patients and provide them with a trustworthy reference they can utilize. The material included in guidebook is dedicated to providing valuable, unbiased information and advice to medical consumers interested in learning about medical travel. The book also works as reference guide for expert and international healthcare providers keen to learn on providing high quality services in medical tourism.

Dr Prem’s Guidebook – Medical Tourism

This guidebook is an excellent resource for patients to utilize before they travel as it lists all the essential preparation steps to ensure a safe and successful medical journey. “Patients need to organize all the post-operative arrangements before they travel, appropriately budget for medical tourism and pack the essential items they would require during the trip.” added Dr Prem, who is also a leading consultant of the medical tourism industry. The guide book also highlights essential information about top 50 Medical Tourism Destinations in the world.

Dr Prem advises “Even though the process of accessing care in a foreign location might seem like a seemingly simple process, there are several intricacies, challenges and issues associated with the industry that all potential medical travellers should be made aware of.” The decision to avail medical services abroad is a crucial aspect on whether or not your journey will be successful.  “The decision should be based on personalized and individual factors, rather than basing a decision on hearing about the success stories of medical tourism” further advised the author of the medical tourism Guidebook.

Second part of the guidebook entitled ‘Deciding for Medical Tourism’ includes essential individualized factors to consider that truly determine whether medical tourism will be the right decision for you. Questions such as ‘Do I have the means to travel abroad’ or ‘Do I have enough time and resources to thoroughly plan for this journey’ can help eliminate those that are travelling abroad for the wrong reasons, minimizing the risks and complications commonly seen in medical tourism.

The essence of the guidebook comes from Part three entitled “Planning and Preparing for medical tourism”. In this section, Dr. Prem highlights the twenty essential preparation tips he feels all medical tourists should engage in prior to their travels. These tips include understanding your healthcare needs and selecting the right destination, facility & physician to seek a treatment from abroad. Additionally, there are dedicated chapters on appropriate arrangements for pre-operative & post operative, travel & tourism preparations, budgeting for medical tourism and understanding of cultural, legal and ethical issues abroad. To further assist medical tourists in this important journey, the last part of the guidebook provides essential tools and check-lists to facilitate the preparation stage of your journey.

Aside from the crucial section on preparation and planning for medical tourism which all potential travellers should read, Part four documents fifty of the top medical tourism destinations around the world. Dr. Prem Jagyasi says, “Picking the right healthcare destination is an essential factor that determines the success of your medical journey. The risk of picking the wrong country can be eliminated via thorough research on that region before a medical tourist travels.”

The guidebook is a handy reference as it will assist patients in selecting the ideal destination to avail medical services for your specific condition and requirements. The top medical destinations are presented with the necessary information any tourist would need prior to making their decision. Given that this is a medical tourism guidebook, the information for each country is further broken down by the tourism facts a traveler would need to know, and the relevant healthcare information too.

Dr. Prem Jagyasi summarizes his guidebook in a nutshell, “I have devised a rule—I call it Dr Prem’s Medical Tourism Rule—assume less, reassure more and plan meticulously.  The entire book is based on this rule; I have attempted to provide answers to all the possible queries a medical tourist might have, provided guidelines for you to reassure yourself, and checklists and graphs that will help you plan meticulously. Simply put, these are all the factors necessary in ensuring you a safe and successful medical journey.”
