Dr Prem Jagyasi and Team (C)

Dubai, 23rd March 2011. More and more individuals dissatisfied with their healthcare system are seeking alternate options and travelling across borders to seek medical care. This phenomenon makes up the industry known as ‘medical tourism’ which is a burgeoning sector of the global healthcare industry.
Since medical travel involves several intricacies, patients could be vulnerable to certain risk factors leading to complications which would give consumers 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 individuals on the importance of planning and preparing 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.
