Modern history is full of anecdotes of people visiting spas and sanatoriums to recover from various illnesses such as tuberculosis, bronchitis and liver disorders. A concept once exclusively associated with chronic diseases for which cure was not widely available, medical travel has now come to cover a wide array of medical needs.<br /><br />link :- http://www.heart-consult.com/articles/benefits-medical-travel-quality-and-cost-savingsPulsar Maniachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05852731814442971474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35357454.post-23330706417152761962010-06-23T13:52:34.682+01:002010-06-23T13:52:34.682+01:00I think there are huge complications in comparing ...I think there are huge complications in comparing medical tourism to leisure travel and there is a pressing need for reliable information. When I think about booking a holiday, I may well glance at Trip Advisor, as well as other online and written information and then make a judgement. I wouldn’t in any way call Trip Advisor-type sites the deciding factor in choosing our holidays - and of course booking a holiday is very different to undertaking a medical procedure in a foreign land. <br /><br />Customer reviews have their place but there is a need to be sensible about taking information at face value – especially from websites that, shall we say, take a less rigorous approach to filtering and validating responses. Taking the word of reviews is not so different from undergoing a procedure because "Sharon from the nail salon knew someone who had a good experience there...”. (Why not just order a manual, buy a knife and do the surgery yourself - you could REALLY save some money!)<br /><br />Paying Sharon to do nails is probably a good thing….trusting her as your consulting professional in selecting a stranger to cut your face or torso, in a non-accredited clinic thousands of miles away? Not so much!<br /><br />As medical travel grows, so does the need for experienced professionals providing knowledge and experience to assist the client so that they can select from the most qualified providers. This of course is the opposite end of the spectrum to shady middle men who are looking to make a fast buck…..Rob Dickmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35357454.post-60210660121337603402010-06-10T11:28:03.308+01:002010-06-10T11:28:03.308+01:00Kush

As a medical tourist who traveled to India for surgery, I was amazed at the lack of patient satisfaction data. The Fortis Hospital in Bangalore created numerous patient interviews on video, which nearly had me sold on going there. In the end the qualifications of my surgeon, the fact that he had performed 3500 gallbladder removals and that he was U.K.-Board certified, convinced me. Still, the lack of quantitative, statistical data on patient satisfaction among hospitals and physicians was appalling.<br /><br />-David Cook, USAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35357454.post-57479589056785484412010-06-01T07:13:23.552+01:002010-06-01T07:13:23.552+01:00The content in this blog really is credible.When g...The content in this blog really is credible.When going for a comparison between the costs involved there are many other options to think about.

This is a jewel of a working motto about the most important issue in the development of any person or organization - how to respond to feedback from valuable customers, especially when it isn't flattering or positive and in turn it gives us a reason to improve and do better than our competitors"……… <br /><br />During those days we used to mention patient names initially then few of our patients wrote to us later requesting us to delete their names from our testimonial section but were open to idea of being referred to any new prospective patient cross referral about our and our partners credibility and later on when we became first ISO 9001 : 2000 Certified Health Care Company during the course of discussion with our ISO lead Auditors we came up with concept of providing unique ID numbers to all patient testimonials but with passage of time and after reading your this thoughtful article we suggest that your media company may start a independent / unbiased medical patients testimonial reporting section on the lines of tripadvisor.com which will benefit all stakeholders in medical value travel business.<br /><br />Hope to hear from you on above suggestion.<br /><br />I personally cherish our interaction with you since early 2005 if I correctly recall and we wish you and your media communication company all the very best.<br /><br />With regards,<br />D.
