Health and wellness tourism is also known as medical tourism. The concept of medical tourism certainly isn’t new, and has been going on for thousands of years, originally starting in Rome, China, and then Western Europe. Today, health tourism is generally divided into four separate categories, including elective, surgical, alternative medicine and wellness programs.

Elective - cosmetic plastic surgery, fertility treatments, weight loss surgeries, and dental procedures and treatments

Surgical- cardiac, cancer, orthopedic care and surgery and neurosurgery procedures and treatments

Alternative Medicine- Chinese or Ayurvedic medicine and Ayurveda treatments, homeopathy, or CAM (complementary and alternative medicine ) treatments and procedures

Wellness- holistic, medical spa treatments, and yoga practices and methodologies

Medical treatment abroad offers consumers access to global healthcare, taking advantage of advanced technological services and procedures from medical facilities and healthcare providers around the world. Medical vacations provide consumers with affordable surgery abroad, more choices, and of course, the ultimate in tourist destinations.

Medical tourism is here to stay, but people everywhere demand high standards and quality of care, as they should. When it comes to accreditation and certification of health care experience, the Medical Tourism Association, a fairly new global healthcare service organization new to the U.S. but growing exponentially, verifies a certain number of answers when it comes to specific questions regarding such experience. For example, here is a sampling of just a few of the issues any facility will need to answer on the certification application for 2009-2010:

·         Company’s health care experience

·         Facility or applicant has a medical advisor on staff

·         Languages spoken

·         Applicant defines which services are outsourced on their website

·         Applicant able to comply with HIPAA or privacy laws of other states, provinces or countries

·         Provide evidence of quality commitment

·         Names of all hospitals or clinics where surgical procedures are performed

·         Applicant inspected all surgical facilities to where patients are sent

·         Describes acceptable standards of patient “handling” from initial contact to final follow-up

·         Ease of travel arrangements, adequate travel packages, flight assistance and guides available for patients upon arrival to medical tourism destination

·         Proof that applicant has not had complaints or suits filed against them by patients, surgeons, hospitals or by embassies

Additional information for certification involves a searchable history of certification in other organizations and associations as well as contact information. Medical tourism must provide excellent, experienced healthcare providers for global travelers. The MTA (Medical Tourism Association) is on the right track to providing such assurance.

Since when is the United States the only place where individuals expect high quality and expert healthcare? Whether you come from Oklahoma or Britain, the Middle East, Africa, Asia or South America, individuals seek qualification, accreditation, and certification from their healthcare providers. Everyone wants and deserves quality healthcare in all fields, including bariatric surgery procedures.

Obesity surgery abroad offers individuals from around the world, but most especially the United States (as many cosmetic and obesity surgeries are not covered by health insurance policies) the opportunity to experience highly qualified, certified and accredited facilities in Latin America for obesity and weight loss treatments and procedures.

One such facility, called Angels Abroad, located in Guatemala City is one of the most popular and well-known healthcare facilities in Latin America when it comes to gastric bypass operation options, laparoscopic bariatric surgery, bariatric band surgery, gastric bypass information. Angels Abroad, one of the most well-known gastric bypass centers in Guatemala offers one of the best gastric bypass doctors in South America.

Dr. Rodrigo Gonzalez Toledo has been practicing his field since the early 1990s and has performed operations not only in Guatemala, but in the United States and France as well. Dr. Toledo’s practice is dedicated and focused on bariatric surgery and he belongs to multiple surgical societies throughout the world and has also completed multiple fellowship training programs in the United States and abroad.

When it comes to excellence and experience, medical travelers from around the globe can rely on foreign medical destinations for obesity surgery abroad with the same high expectations of quality and service that are expected, and demanded, in the United States.
