!! Medical and Legal Issues !!

Medical Tourism in South India is an emerging but relatively new field. As a result, few gray areas in the Indian legal system still persist where medical tourism and related issues are concerned. It is natural for a foreign tourist to have questions regarding the safety and security issues associated with medical tourism in South India. Negligence on the part of doctors and lapse in service standards are a major concern. Another major worry is the occurrence of an emergency situation that may arise from an unforeseen complication during therapy.

Below are listed certain points that you should keep in mind while planning your medical tour in South India :

• It is likely that before and after the operation you will be committed to bed rest and outdoor and rigorous activity will be a strict no for a few days or months after surgery depending upon the severity of the disease.
• Your date for a flight back home should be decided in consultation with your appointed physician keeping in mind the rate of healing and recovery after the surgery is completed.
• It is also important to plan beforehand the logistics for your follow-up check up routines - frequency, duration etc. You can do so in consultation with the appointed physician.
• Be aware of travel agents/ tour operators/medical facilities that are out there to lure people with false promises and misinformation. Stay away from travel agents who are ready to book your tour without even initiating, procuring or informing you about the medical advice for your condition from the intended medical facility.
• Complications may arise during or post surgery. Medical insurance is available but is hard to procure on short notice. Contracts may be signed with the hospital with proper legal advice.
