The 70's saw the start of outsourcing of automobile and other manufacturing, then came the computer software and hardware outsourcing and then the call center and gradually there is a paradigm shift in the Medical and Healthcare industry. Historically, people from the under-developed and developing countries, visited the advanced countries for top-of-the line medical care. Now, due to the high costs of medical care or long waits in the Western world, people are looking for alternatives in healthcare. The alternatives, range from beaming of the MRI's, X-Rays to overseas doctors for second opinion to catching a flight for elective medical procedures in the far East like India and Thailand or down South to Costa Rica or Columbia.<br /><br />Realizing the importance of HealthCare and Medical Outsourcing, there are formal events and conferences being organized in USA to create more awareness amongt the common people. Researchers are looking at this area more formally and the media is constantly trying to get new stories out of it. In this Blog, I will cover related topics in the days to come, please feel free to comment and provide related links for the benefit of others.<br />Thanks<br />Shyam Varan Nath<br />President and Founder<br />Medical Excursions, Inc.<br />http://MedicalExcursion.com<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7400902084402261399-9062789684877830598?l=medicalnhealth.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shyam Varan Nathnoreply@blogger.com9
