Do any of you know any one who has been through this process or who is going to go through the process? If so please contact me on 02074228253. Thanks!

There are reports of insurance being offered from abroad, but this should be considered with caution. Unfortunately we don’t know of any insurer who covers this at present.

Your travel insurance is unlikely to cover you if you are travelling to obtain medical treatment. Check the medical conditions section of your insurance.

I've started a website www.medtripinfo.com, which provides news and information about international medical travel/medical tourism. I'm also kicking off discussion forums and I'd much appreciate your participation! I recently returned from Singapore where I visited 10 hospitals and met with doctors, hospital administrators and government officials.

Since a large number of doctors in the US are of Indian origin anyway with family ties in India, new hospitals in India are attracting them back to offer quality healthcare at low cost. www.medical-treatment-in-india.com is a cool web site that gives you the info you need to make your decision.
