Medical experts from Indian hospitals have called on International Patients who wish to seek treatment in India not to delay any further in their treatments and surgeries to enable quick response to their medical conditions.
Karthik Rajagopal, from the Manipal Overseas Patient Care Centre (COO) Manipal Hospital Enterprise made the call at a Webinar on Tuesday, April 5, 2022.
He said as the Covid-19 restriction is winding down, patients who have been denied access to quality medical care should explore medical tourism to India for any kind of treatment, particularly with the country’s world-class technology, and a team of experienced doctors.
Thus assuring strict safety standards of healthcare delivery for international best practices.
Since the emergence of the Covid-19 Pandemic, there have been significant challenges in the healthcare sector, resulting in the delay in treatment of patients who required flying to India for better treatments and procedures.
However, this situation has given rise to the hike in morbidity and mortality rate of treatable and preventable health conditions, thus posing a huge burden on patients and relatives across the country.
Contrary to this, having witnessed the pandemic’s gradual reduction in the first quarter of 2022 with foreign travel restrictions being eased in India.
These experts are worried and concerned about the health status of patients, bringing to this conference to create awareness of India’s determination to solve complicated health issues that are currently ravaging the world.
While speaking, Karthik Rajagopal, said, “Manipal Hospitals has always believed in making healthcare accessible to everyone. Many patients had to postpone their treatments due to the pandemic, but now that the COVID cases in India have been brought under control and international crossings are opening, we are glad to offer our services to our overseas patients. It is now critical to recognize that delaying both emergency and routine medical care will increase the danger of the underlying diseases worsening and may result in mortality. With the opening of international borders, we can now continue to assist overseas patients who have had their procedures postponed due to the pandemic and travel restrictions. Nothing brings us more joy at Manipal Hospital than giving our patients a new lease on life, and we encourage our patients not to delay their treatment or surgeries. We are now prepared to maintain the same level of confidence and clinical excellence among international patients, thanks to our amazing team of doctors.”
