Oman's potential for medical tourism has got a new impetus with MediCare Tourist, a local outfit, stepping in to cover the constraints of inadequate manpower and facilities.
MediCare Tourism, a division of Travel Point LLC, has focused on providing the best partner hospitals and doctors for satisfying the needs of their patients. The partner hospitals and medical centres are among the largest, most trusted and internationally accredited available in Oman.
Dr Vishakha Deshmukh, medical adviser of MediCare Tourism, who has more than 15 years of experience in the medical profession in India and Oman, gives useful advice in understanding and analysing the patient’s disease as well as guiding them for quality treatment. Moreover, while discussing the patient’s ailments with the overseas treating doctors, it is much easier to convey the exact picture to them and get a realistic idea about the treatment programme outcome. MediCareTourism strives to take care of every detail, right from the time the patient goes to them with his complaint to the time he returns home after treatment. Patients are treated for orthopaedic, cardiac, cosmetic, ophthalmic, neurological and cancer treatment, as well as for weight reduction and rehabilitative programmes.
"We have added a treatment programme for alcohol and drug addiction to our numerous services. Oman has a large number of young population in need of this facility. Drug addiction is common among the youngsters of today, who will be the future of tomorrow. They resort to petty crimes to satisfy this need. Becoming a victim of drug is easy, what is difficult is to get rid of that habit. With the help of our trained and skilled partners we try to cure the addicts," said Dr Vishakha.
"Medical tourism or ‘global healthcare’ as it’s increasingly called, involves travelling to a foreign country for a medical procedure. This industry has been growing rapidly over the years as more and more people seek faster or cheaper alternatives to the healthcare offered in their own countries. Occasionally the medical procedure needed is urgent, but more often it is an elective treatment such as cosmetic surgery or dental care," said group general manager Travel Point LLC, Oman Sunil Prabhakar.
