MEDICAL GUIDELINES

Some of the guidelines which should be followed by every traveller coming for healthcare purposes to avert any kind of doubts or difficulties–

• Make sure that the hospital where you want to undergo your medical treatment is certified and licensed.
• Check for the quality of patient care, gather all probable information about the doctors that could possibly be involved in your treatment and cost involved before confirming the hospital. You can access all your information about the hospital/doctor online.
• Learn as much as you can about your medical procedure and treatment plan. It is very vital to have genuine expectations from the medical procedure, pre –post operative care as well as the recovery period.
• Before undergoing any kind of treatment, see your doctor in person. There is a chance that your doctor may perhaps suggest some other course of treatment instead of the planned one, depending upon your diagnostic results.

Note: Hospitals/doctors do not recommend any kind of medical procedure without carrying out diagnostic tests of the patient to understand his/her health situation.

• Make sure to bring all the applicable documents, medical reports, local currency, traveller’s cheques as well as credit/debit cards with you and always keep them safe.
