Medical Tourism: The GME Difference
The best way to make these important decisions is to find a qualified,
caring medical tourism facilitator that will guide you through the
process. They can make arrangements for your travel, schedule your
surgery, and even facilitate a vacation in the destination country for
your and those accompanying you. Clearly, you want to find a company
that has a primary focus on the medical, rather than the travel. Be
leery of travel agencies, turned medical tourism companies, as they are
not specifically trained to handle patients, and with a lack of
expertise in the medical field, they may not be properly qualified to
make decisions regarding your health and safety.
Companies like Global Medical Excellence specialize in facilitating
surgical procedures in India, one of the most highly reputable medical
tourism destination countries of choice. Global Medical Excellence (GME)
is under the management of several medical professionals, and
emphasizes their concerns on the safety and satisfaction of each
patient. Not only do they assist you in choosing the right country, but
they also have contracts with U.S. Board Certified surgeons who will
make the trip to your country of choice and do your surgery there, for
much less than they would charge in the U.S. GME will also assign a care
manager to each patient to ensure a smooth trip to and from the
destination country, and to be a person of contact throughout your stay.
GME will also coordinate with its travel division, FlyGTE to plan your
entire trip to include a vacation, should you wish to enjoy the marvels
of another country. Travel specialists will assist you in planning your
vacation, and even discuss this with your surgeon to assess all safety
precautions you should take to ensure your health and safety while
traveling.
You will undoubtedly need to address your questions to professionals in
the medical tourism field before traveling to an unfamiliar destination
country to receive a surgical operation. Knowing your options and
feeling comfortable with a highly qualified surgeon will make your
experience with medical tourism much easier and more enjoyable.
