SimpleCare creates New Medical Tourism blog to provide information and facilitate discussion

MARBELLA, SPAIN, August 16, 2010 (Press-News.org) "SimpleCare World Health has launched a new blog focusing on the Medical Tourism Industry. The blog addresses their purpose, how they are, and their implications for the advancement of safe health-care travels abroad"

SimpleCare World Health (http://www.simplecareworldhealth.com), a leading international health-care provider, has created a new blog centering around the Medical Tourism industries) that has become relevant after a dangerous new mutation that makes some bacteria resistant to almost all antibiotics has become increasingly common in India and Pakistan and is being found in patients in Britain and the United States who got medical care in those countries according to new statistics released on August 12. SimpleCare is offering guidance, and information on the safest practices in traveling abroad for elective surgery, the blog provides information on the process of selecting a destination, as well as an explanation of their purpose and how they will provide important health information. In addition to educating visitors, The SIMPLECARE blog will also provide an opportunity for readers to express comments or questions they may have regarding the medical tourism industry.

The recently released study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases journal on Wednesday, Walsh's team found NDM-1 was becoming more common in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan and was also imported back to Britain in patients returning after treatment. The bug has already killed many thousands in India and Bangladesh and it seems that only now that it directly threatens Western populations are serious attempts starting to find an anti-biotic that works against it. We believe that the bug has entered the UK via patients infected with it after undergoing elective heart and orthopedic surgery in India or Bangladesh. There is a growing trend for some to visit Asia for elective surgery as it is often much cheaper than in the West, However such cut price surgery could lead to infection and the spread of this highly dangerous super bug around the globe.

"Through the creation of this blog http://www.simplecaremedretreat.blogspot.com/, SimpleCare World Health hopes to increase awareness of the benefits and risk, which consumers can employ to ensure the "safest use" of their resources, and as a result, the fulfillment of a safe overseas health-care experience," said R.B. Prats, CEO of SimpleCare World Health.
