Travel Abroad To Save Your Liver

OKHLA, India - March 16, 2016 - PRLog -- Chronic liver diseases suffered by people in US have high medical treatment costs, which may land the person in a financial debt. What is the other alternative? TRAVEL. Implausible as it may sound, with the new concept of medical tourism, anyone can travel abroad for a liver transplant, and simultaneously explore the beauty of the medical destination. Healthcare facilities are rapidly changing worldwide and patients seeking the highest quality of medical care, prefer to cross borders to save considerably. In the case of liver dysfunctioning, a patient can simply undergo a liver transplant procedure, which replaces the diseased liver with a healthier liver from another person.

According to Vaibhav Kataria, Marketing Analyst at MedHalt, "India is one of the top medical tourism destinations for organ transplants. India, with constant innovation in the field of medicine and expert training to doctors, has become the forerunner in liver transplantation." Within the last 15 years, this southeast Asian country has performed over 4500 liver transplants. "Patients from different countries, all over the world, have crossed international frontiers to undergo this surgery here. India boasts of a success rate as high as 90% and of exceedingly low costs, which are 1/10 of that in US," says Vaibhav.

Vaibhav, at http://www.medhalt.com, points to the grave situation of declining donors for liver transplant in Singapore, a country which is considered to be the medical hub of Asia. On the other hand, India is steadily growing to dominate the market, attracting patients from far and wide. With the concept of medical tourism gaining popularity, patients are choosing to travel to a place that provides them with optimum satisfaction, in terms of both quality and costs. "India tops the list for both medical facilities and attractive tourist spots. The presence of expertly trained doctors, intensive patient-oriented care, post-transplantation counseling and advice and effective drugs have contributed immensely to its rise in medical tourism," says Vaibhav. The average costs of a liver transplantation here, is only 12-15 lakhs INR, as compared to the US, where it costs more than 35 lakhs.

Travel to India for liver treatment is now being considered as a cost-saving vacation for those living in the west. The success of liver transplantation in India has shown that procedures here are reliable, replicable, and affordable.
