Why India?
Medicare is the latest reason to visit India. Is it because of low cost? Is it the quality of treatment? Or is there something more? It is a combination of several factors which make India a unique healthcare destination. Patients from over 55 countries are treated at Indian hospitals.
Indian Doctors are board certified physicians. Many of them have previously trained in top American and British Programs and practiced medicine there. There quality of care in many cases surpasses available in the West. Indian Hospitals have treated more than a quarter million foreign patients till date. India's cultural and geographical diversity also makes it an ideal tourism destination.
The Indian advantage :
Government support: Medical tourism in India has seen such a spurt in growth that the Indian finance minister Mr. Jaswant Singh called recently for India to become a "Global health destination". According to a study by McKinsey and the Confederation of Indian Industry, medical tourism in India could become a $2 billion business by 2012. The Indian government predicts that India's $17-billion-a-year health-care industry could grow 13 per cent in each of the next six years, boosted by medical tourism, which industry watchers say is growing at 30 per cent annually.
The Ministry of tourism, state tourism boards and the private sector are all contributing to the development of the sector.
World class facilities: Hospitals and clinics in India are some of the best in the world and are staffed by medical staffs that have been trained in some of the most industrialized nations.
Medical research: India is a major innovator in global medical research. Biotechnology has significant investment and India is a leader in stem cell research at a level approached only by Britain.
Broad range of treatments: India has world class facilities and infrastructure for heart surgery, hip and knee replacement, cosmetic surgery, dentistry, bone marrow transplant and cancer therapy.

There quality of care in many cases surpasses available in the West. Our doctors are trained and certified physicians, many of whom have long term experience working in American or British hospitals and facilities.
The Medicare program in the U.S. recognizes JCAHO accreditation as an indicator of quality and in fact a requirement for Medicare payment to the hospital. In addition to existing International accreditations, such as ISO, Indian hospitals are seeking JCI accreditation. JCI is the international arm of JCAHO.
Indian super-specialty hospitals have success rates that are in many cases superior to their American counterparts, because they are more focused on the international patient. Hospitals have treated more than 150,000 foreign patients.

SPOTLIGHT | MEDICAL TRAVEL TODAY
Sandeep Khemka
In this issue's SPOTLIGHT we speak with Sandeep Khemka, CEO of Makewell Medical Travel, an emerging global player in the medical tourism field. We spoke with Khemka about what inspired him to pursue medical travel and his company's approach to providing end-to-end facilitation to patients.
Medical Travel Today (MTT): Tell us a bit about why and how you got involved in global healthcare?
Sandeep Khemka (SK): The original idea came from a very personal experience when my brother needed a kidney transplant. My family was, of course, looking for the best hospital and provider to do the procedure. It wasn't easy. The information was out there, but there was a lot of searching and matching that needed to be done. So from this experience I recognized a need for a service that matched people with the right doctor or specialist and the right hospital for their specific need.
What makes us different from other agencies in India is that we only do medical travel. We don't do any pure pleasure travel arrangements. We're also a member of the Medical Travel Association, and I expect to be one of the first to receive ISO certification. We are just finishing up this process now.
MTT: Recognizing that you're a relatively young company, what services are you offering at this time?
SK: Our major focus is oncology, but many of our patients are seeking care for orthopedics, dental care, cosmetic surgery, ophthalmology, and cardiac disease. We anticipate that within six months we'll have established relationships with providers and facilities for all types of care and treatment. But we are being selective so some may take longer than others.
MTT: In terms of hospitals you refer to, are you working only in India? And where are most of your patients coming from?
SK: Our patients are really from around the world—the United States, Nepal, Canada, the U.K., and the Gulf Countries, just to name a few. We do work with many of the facilities in India like Fortis, Apollo Group, Wockhardt, Shroff Eye Hospital, and Lakeshore Hospital. We also work with SingHealth, Raffles, Parkways, and National Healthcare Group (NHG) in Singapore.
MTT: How does the experience of working with you typically go for the patient? What's the process?
SK: Usually a patient contacts us with their need. We then request their complete medical information and reports. We send this information to five or more of the best-suited facilities and physicians for consideration, depending on the condition.
The files are reviewed, and we get feedback within 48 hours from the facilities and providers on how they would handle it, who would be involved, and so forth. We then provide that information back to the patient.
From this point it's up to the patient to decide. We do not make recommendations. We just offer the options and information. The patients can then work with their personal physician and talk with their family to make the decision that they feel works best for them.
Once they've decided, we then set up an appointment with the specialist or physician and begin creating their itinerary, establishing accommodations, setting up the appropriate post-treatment care or facilities as needed, and so on. We take care of all medical and travel logistics, which can be intimidating and confusing to the consumer. We make it so they don't have to worry about having forgotten some piece of information the hospital or doctor might need. It's all taken care of. Plus, we make all the arrangements for a patient and a companion. Typically the companion gets to stay with the patient at the hospital, which is always comforting and helpful for everyone.
MTT: And what about follow-up after the patient has returned home?
SK: When it's appropriate, we set up post-treatment follow-ups with the patient and the care provider. We're also working on a system where we can maintain patient reports and the physician can review them online. That's still in development, but once it's done, it will make things even easier and thorough.
MTT: From what you told us earlier about your own family's past medical needs, how do you feel you're doing in terms of satisfying the needs you experienced?
SK: I think we're doing very well. Our focus is really on the patient and making sure we do right by them. When you're in need of major medical care, you are feeling pretty exposed and vulnerable. We really try to make them feel more secure and confident in the choices they are making and give them options so they don't feel forced into something. Even after they arrive here and meet with the surgeon or specialist, if for some reason they don't feel confident, they can cancel without any financial penalties. That's how committed we are.

PREPARING FOR YOUR JOURNEY
Traveling to any place requires planning and additionally so, if you are planning for a medical tourist destination. After completion of the initial talks with your medical provider, you need to finalize the dates of your travel. Keep the dates flexible and include few more dates as possible dates for departure.
Planning your travel: While deciding the actual rates of travel, it is essential to check if the dates are during peak travel season or during off-season. The cost of the airline ticket and the other accommodation can show a wide difference in the seasons. You have to plan keeping in mind the duration of your medical treatment and additions recuperation period. Again, weather also plays a major role in deciding the comfort levels of your stay.
Planning and booking tickets in advance delivers substantial reduction in costs and confirmation of your travel plans with all different concerned authorities like medical provider, broker, airlines and others.
Passport: Passport is the most essential document necessary for your travel overseas. It could take anything from two to six weeks to get a passport, if you do not have one already. Acquiring a valid passport should ideally be the first step while planning your overseas travel for medical treatments.
