Medical tourism hits New Zealand
Americans requiring complex surgery will be able to have operations in
New Zealand after the launch of a Kiwi medical tourism company.
Medtral was set up late last year to attract uninsured Americans or those looking for a cheaper option for surgery to come to New Zealand.
The company, whose creator is New Zealand obstetrician and gynaecologist Edward Watson,
will initially do surgery in private Auckland hospitals but aims to expand to Wellington and Christchurch within about five years.
It intends to do up to 1000 complex operations a year on United States medical tourists over the next next five years, but says the surgery on foreigners will not mean Kiwis miss out.
More than 100,000 private surgeries are done every year in New Zealand.
Watson is in the US seeking business.
Medtral director Andrew Wong, who is also chief executive of Auckland's MercyAscot private hospital, said the company would soon operate on its first patients.
One patient is Eugene Horn, of Williamina, Oregon, who needs both knees replaced at a cost of $US200,000 ($NZ216,000).

Hip Resurfacing in INDIA (Cost Savings )
Hip Resurfacing is anatomically and biomechanically more similar to the natural hip joint resulting in increased stability, flexibility and range of motion. Further, dislocation risk is virtually eliminated. Higher activity levels are typically achieved with less risk. These benefits are realized because the head diameter that results from Resurfacing is very similar to the patient's normal head diameter and these larger head sizes are typically much larger than the femoral balls utilized in conventional THR.
Advantages of Hip Resurfacing :
- Allows the patient to squat and sit on the floor safely
- Allows a normal range of movement and sporting activities after operation
- Sacrifices only the diseased bone and preserves normal bone
- Restores the normal structures of the hip
- More natural feel after surgery
- Early rehabilitation
- Easy to revise if needed
- Less risk of dislocation
- No leg length alteration
While significant cost differences exist between India and the USA, UK and other developed countries,
the quality of medical treatment is definitely the determining factor.
India not only provides affordable medical treatment but also provides quality medical services
and world-class infrastructure that are at par with advanced countries.
Hip Resurfacing - One Side (Not Available in US ) Surgery Charges – $8,000 All prices are indicative and may vary depending upon the exchange rate at the time of admission to the hospital.
