Telemedicine is a health tourism arm during the Corona era


Medical tourism destination countries are looking for remote treatment

Due to the outbreak of coronavirus, restrictions will remain in place indefinitely. Hence, remote counseling and medical services continue to grow rapidly. For those patients who are looking for small, low-cost services, remote counseling certainly plays a very important role in pre-trip diagnoses and post-trip counseling. In the more valuable parts of medical travel, in which specialization plays a leading role in such trips, Quaid-19 can turn everything around .

In the global market, the value of medical travel is estimated at between $ 15 billion and $ 20 billion, much of which is provided by patients seeking expertise instead of lower costs. Top hospitals in the United States, for example, benefit from $ 3 billion in specialized services to international patients who are not looking to save money but are looking for basic services that can save or change their lives .

Quaid-19 has led to the introduction and use of technology in all walks of life. We use the inside of the house, ارتباط communicate with our colleagues via video calls,. And buy from online stores instead of shopping from the downtown store. In addition to these services, medical advice has also come to the computer and smartphone screens. In these services, a set of new ways to examine and examine patients have been used to play a complementary role in providing remote medical services. Medicine has become part of the main medical pathway .

 

Surgeon in the United States, patient in the United Kingdom

Medical travel has stopped; But the urgent need for specialized treatment for some patients means that medicine has come a long way as a solution. Last month, for example, something happened in the UK that showed the potential impact of telemedicine on medical travel .

A businessman named Mo Tajjar was diagnosed with testicular cancer and underwent four courses of chemotherapy. Eventually, a large part of his tumor disappeared. But photographs showed new glands attached to his artery. He had to undergo surgery quickly, but it was not easy .

Her surgeon in the UK, Dr. Archie Fernando, was planning to travel to the United States for advice from Dr. Jim Porter, a surgeon at a medical center in Seattle. However, this flight was not possible due to the outbreak of Coronavirus. As a result, Fernando and Porter used the Da Vinci XI robotic surgery system and the proximal surgery method .
"I felt like I was in the middle of a tennis court and my coach on the pitch was telling me what to do," Fernando told the Sunday Times .

 

A fundamental change in medical travel?

With travel restrictions likely to remain unresolved for some time, remote counseling and medical services will continue to grow rapidly. So, what will be the new normal state of medical travel? For those patients who are looking for small, low-cost services, remote counseling will definitely play a very important role in pre-trip diagnosis and post-trip counseling. In the more valuable parts of medical travel, where expertise is paramount, Quaid-19 can turn everything around .

 

Large hospital groups are seeking to expand the impact of their international brands by expanding facilities in some of their core sectors. Like international clinics (Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic in Abu Dhabi and Morfield Fields Clinic in Dubai), these are not hospital buildings and equipment that serve medicine, but humans, and this is where medicine shortens the distance. Because when the best doctors can come from far and wide to help with medical care, they no longer have to travel all over .

 

Is this better for patients?

Is this a better solution for patients? Patients do not want to travel for medical care .
They prefer to receive this care at home, with friends and family, and in a familiar environment. If medical expertise can help them remotely, and only the practical part needs to be performed by doctors and robots, then why should patients travel?

A medical trip takes the patient to the doctor. Through medicine, however, it is bringing international medical services from a country's medical office and operating room to the country and the patient's home .
