Medical Outsourcing Procedure

Medical Outsourcing can be defined as a health holiday. These patients going to a different country for either urgent or elective medical procedures is becoming a worldwide, multibillion-dollar industry.  Medical Outsourcing is ‘cost effective’ private medical care in collaboration with the tourism industry for patients needing surgical and/or other forms of specialized treatment.


Medical Outsourcing combines wellness and healthcare alongside leisure and relaxation.  Medical Outsourcing is aimed at rejuvenating a person; mentally, physically and emotionally. It involves the idea of drawing you away from your daily routine to a relaxed surrounding in an exotic location. Many medical outsourcing tourists are seeking treatment at a quarter or sometimes even a 10th of the cost at home.  These patients are often people who are frustrated by long waiting times.  Becoming a medical outsourcing tourist is a chance to combine a tropical vacation with elective or plastic surgery.


 Countries that actively promote Medical Outsourcing include Cuba, Costa Rica, Hungary, India, Israel, Jordan, Lithuania, Malaysia and Thailand. Belgium, Poland and Singapore are now entering the field. South Africa specializes in medical safaris-visit the country for a safari, with a stopover for plastic surgery, a nose job and a chance to see lions and elephants.


Research is the first step to successful medical outsourcing travel. Make sure that you do your research on the following:


The Procedure:   Find out about the procedure and compare your expectations with what is achievable by the surgery. Also inquire about follow-up care needed, time required for recovery, physical therapy, etc.


The Hospital:   When selecting the hospital that is right for your needs, you should consider the hospital's accreditation, awards and recognitions, facility and equipments, statistics like success rates, etc.


The Surgeon:   Check the certifications, training and repute of the surgeon who will be treating you.


The Destination Country:   You should base your selection on quality, distance and cost.
Always work with your local doctor and inform him about your decision to travel overseas for treatment. You may need his assistance prior to the surgery for furnishing the health records required by the international hospital and post surgery for any follow-up checks that may be required.

  • Australia Geography

    Australia is the world's smallest continent but sixth-largest country; it's slightly smaller than the 48 contiguous United States. The highly urbanised population is heavily concentrated along the eastern and south-eastern coasts. Australia is bordered on the northwest, west, and southwest by the Indian Ocean, and on the east by the South Pacific Ocean. The Tasman Sea lies to the southeast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies to the northeast. Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Indonesia are Australia's northern neighbors, separated from Australia by the Arafura Sea and the Timor Sea.

    Australia is mostly arid and semi-arid: the center is desert and much agricultural land is poor quality by the standards of continents with richer soil. The south east is temperate and the north tropical. Australia was massively deforested for agricultural purposes: forest areas survive in extensive national parks and some other areas. Australia is prone to severe drought and water restrictions are currently in place in some areas, however these shouldn't affect travellers as they mostly relate to watering gardens and washing cars.


  • Australia Time zones

    Mainland Australia has three time zones, on account of its large geographical range:


    Eastern Standard Time (EST) - operates in New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, Tasmania and Queensland, 10 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
    Central Standard Time (CST) - operates in South Australia and the Northern Territory (half an hour behind EST, 9.5 hours ahead of GMT)
    Western Standard Time (WST) - operates in Western Australia (two hours behind EST, 8 hours ahead of GMT).

    Several Australian states observe daylight saving time during the summer season. In NSW, ACT, VIC, SA and WA, daylight savings time applies from the end of October to the end of March and in Tasmania from the beginning of October to the end of March. (In 2006 only, daylight saving begins on December 3 in WA). Queensland and the Northern Territory do not use daylight savings time. Due to the half hour difference between CST and EST, this means that during summer there are five different time zones operating in Australia: GMT+9 (WA), GMT+9.5 (NT), GMT+10 (Qld), GMT+10.5 (SA) and GMT+11 (NSW, ACT, Vic, Tas).
