Did you know that stem cell therapies  can rejuvenate your skin and make you look younger and more vibrant? Stem cell  therapies designed to replace damaged or dying cells in the body help the body  repair damaged skin, muscle tissue and other types of tissues.  However, looking  younger are not the only benefits of stem cell technologies today.

In the field of orthopedics, stem cell  treatments and transplants are being tested in a new surgical technique to  repair damaged bone structure. Stem cell therapies and treatments are being  devised to treat brain disease in patients as well as those suffering cognitive disorders. Facilities such as EmCell in the Ukraine and Integra Medical Center  in Mexico may be researched at PlacidWay.com, an international medical tourism  portal that offers resources and information regarding treatments, technologies  and therapies for medical consumers around the globe.

Recently, regenerative medicine has  received boosts from stem cell research that may be used in a wide variety of  fields, including obesity  and weight loss, reconstructive and cosmetic surgery  using fat transplantation as well as stem cells used for breast implants. A  number of stem cell clinical trials are under way in the U.S. and Europe, S. Korea, China, Germany and Spain. From treatment of fractures to treatments for  Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative  disease processes, stem cell technologies and research are leading the charge  for treatments and cures.

Jackie woke up every morning stiff and sore. She figured she was just getting older, but didn’t think her achy joints should feel this way at age 43. She’d been active all her life, enjoying playing on a women’s soccer team, softball, and, in her more daring moods, rock-climbing. Still, she was startled to read that the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons announced that 1 in 7 Americans experiences bone or joint pain or problems.

After a visit to her doctor, Jackie’s doctor referred her to an orthopedist for care. She’d been diagnosed with facet joint arthritis in her lower back region, and he had noted arthritic joints in her knees and one shoulder.

Jackie mulled over her options. She was not yet prepared for joint surgery, and besides, she was not currently insured and orthopedic surgery in the U.S. was way too expensive for her limited budget. Her friend told her about orthopedic surgery abroad, such as knee replacement surgery or rotator cuff surgery in places like Costa Rica or India. She knew of a sports therapy clinic in Croatia that treated Olympic athletes. Some of the best sports injuries programs in Croatia such as those found at Terme Selce offered professional and amateur athletes like herself the best in care and experience while saving thousands of dollars.

Her own doctor told her about a well-known orthopedic surgeon in India who ran the Madras Joint Replacement Center in Chennai. There, she was told, she could save over 40% on surgery costs compared to what the same procedure cost in the U.S.

Now, Jackie’s on a mission to find affordable treatment from global experts in orthopedics and arthritis care. After all, she’s got more games to play.

Turkish clinics and some of the finest hospitals in Turkey, including the Florence Nightingale Hospital, are internationally recognized for their orthopedics and vascular disease procedures and treatments.

Inhabitants from western Europe, and those from Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan as well as surrounding neighbors in Albania and Armenia and Georgia, visit Turkey for their medical care, where medical facilities offer major surgical procedures and treatments they can’t get at home. Tell them that medical tourism is not considered a viable option for care.

Turkey utilizes the most advanced technologies in the world in the fields of oncology and plastic surgery. They also take advantage of daVinci robotic surgery, a method of high-tech heart and prostate surgeries. Due to their willingness to step into the 21st century of medical care and health and wellness services, Turkey is rated one of the best for accessibility and lower health costs throughout Europe. Clinics, hospitals and outpatient treatment centers in  Istanbul, Izmir and Kusadasi offer quality medical care in modern and relaxed atmospheres.

Ultra-modern facilities such as Anadolu Medical Center and Memorial Hizmet Hospital, located in Istanbul offer global patients the best Turkish physicians and surgeons. Female fertility treatment in Istanbul as well as male fertility treatment in Turkey offer affordable and effective treatments to those hoping to conceive. Fertility treatment costs in Turkey save international travelers  thousands of dollars over costs found in Britain, the United States, and Canada.

Discover Turkey as a health and wellness destination. Treatments and prices, qualifications, and testimonials regarding care in Turkey can be found at PlacidWay.com, a medical tourism provider based in Denver, Colorado, providing international travelers up-to-date information regarding medical care in international destinations.

Many of the poorest countries in the world have few resources when it comes to health care, medical care, or preventive medicine. Around the world, poverty-stricken countries without adequate health care suffer the consequences.

It doesn’t have to be that way. For example, India offers quality and expert yet very affordable health care for travelers from African nations, the Middle East, Latin America, and the United States. Hospitals and facilities in India provide opportunities for international travelers to obtain and benefit from procedures and techniques in vision care, dental and cosmetic surgeries, wellness programs as well as treatments, procedures and surgeries in orthopedics, cardiac, and musculoskeletal disorders.

Dental and medical care in India at places like Fortis Hospital, the Adiva Fertility Center and the Madras Joint Replacement Center are just a few examples of doctors in India, clinics in India, and treatment in India.  The BLK Memorial Hospital in New Delhi offers human compassion with cancer treatments, cosmetic
surgery and dentistry and eye or Lasik eye care. My Dentist in Mumbai is fast gaining a global reputation as an excellent and affordable provider for dental aesthetic surgery to “regular” dental care that visitors to India may benefit from.

Natural or “alternative” approaches to medical care and health and wellness can be found at the Ahalia Ayurvedic Hospital in Kerala or the Athreya Ayurvedic Resorts in Kottayam. No matter what you need, India is a leader in quality medical care utilizing the latest in surgical and medical techniques. Find out more about medical or dental care in India. You’ll be glad you did.

Millions of Iraqis are traveling to foreign destinations for quality and affordable medical care. One of the most popular destinations for Iraqis is India. Increasing numbers of Iraqis venture beyond their war-ravaged borders for healthcare. Children and adults requiring surgeries receive affordable care in India for conditions in cardiac, orthopedic, vision and dental care.

Long years of war have decimated a once-superlative healthcare system in Iraq, and today, growing numbers of Iraqis suffer from respiratory infections and formerly preventable diseases such as measles, and malnutrition.

Indian hospitals, Mumbai health centers, doctors in Delhi, and clinics in India are made available to consumers accessing the PlacidWay website for information regarding treatments, treatment facilities, and excellently trained and experienced Indian doctors, surgeons,  and others throughout the globe.

Medical tourism in India is growing, with some of the best doctors in India and Indian hospitals offering treatments in everything from cancer care to eye and LASIK surgical procedures, dentistry and orthopedics, and cardiac surgeries.

Facilities like the Madras Joint Replacement Center in Chennai and the BLK Memorial Hospital in New Delhi, as well as My Dentist in Mumbai are just a few of the many excellent accredited facilities found in India.

India continues to be the medical tourism capital, and with good reason.

According to recent studies, medical tourism nets roughly $20 billion dollars a year to global markets – that number is expected to reach $100 billion in 2012. Why? Because more people are fed up with rising healthcare costs, less choices and options, and longer waits for surgery.

Want more numbers? Call it what you will – medical tourism, medical travel, medical care abroad, and international medical care – it all boils down to the same thing. Crossing borders for accessible and affordable medical care.

It’s estimated that approximately 72,000 people from around the world travel to the U.S. for medical care. However, nearly 265,000 medical travelers visited Jordan for medical care in fields such as cardiology, oncology, orthopedics, obesity, infertility and more in 2010. While India and Thailand continue to be among the most popular for medical tourism, India alone is expecting a 30% boom in incoming international medical travelers yearly. Why? Again, because of excellent, affordable and accessible medical care in multiple fields and surgical specialties. By 2015, South Korea will be ready to handle up to 300,000 incoming medical travelers while Singapore has increased facility access to absorb the more that 600,000 medical tourists arriving in their country every year, with an approximately 13% increase since 2000.

Medical travel has lost its stigma. It’s a viable solution to patients around the world without access to prompt and affordable care. Why  spend tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars on a surgical procedure at home when you can receive the same procedure, from a skilled and experienced professional for a tenth of that cost abroad.

Why not indeed? For more information about savings and accessibility for medical care abroad, visit PlacidWay.com.

If you’re an expat, or working for an international employer away from your homeland, one of the first things you need to know about is healthcare delivery in your new home. Frank G. transferred from his home town of Atlanta, Georgia to Guangdong Province, China  as his company’s lead tech manager.

While Frank wasn’t familiar with the way medical care was provided in southeastern China, he did know that he was within a few hours of many of the world’s most renowned hospitals and care providers.

For example, Frank got online and researched doctors, hospitals, outpatient clinics and facilities in his region through PlacidWay, a website he’d heard about from his mother.  He was pleasantly surprised by his findings. Expats from neighboring countries like Japan, Thailand, South Korea, and Vietnam were traveling to world-class facilities such as South Korea’s Wooridul Spine Care Hospital, or the Madras Joint Replacement Center in India. The Apollo Victor Hospital in Goa, India offered not only emergency and critical care, but care in nephrology, orthopedics, spinal and neurosurgery and cardiology care, surgical procedures and treatments.

Frank felt a lot better knowing that certified and highly qualified physicians and surgeons were nearby, and that JCI accredited hospitals were also available. Traveling to another country for work was hard enough; learning a new language, customs and immersing yourself into a new culture. He didn’t want to have to worry about the best in medical care. He’d heard the stories, that medical care around the world was substandard to American standards of care. He was never so wrong, and never so glad to admit it.

For more information regarding international medical care, hospitals and treatments abroad, visit PlacidWay.com - like Frank, you’ll likely be surprised at the high quality medical care you can find abroad.

One of the things that slow people down from considering travel abroad for medical or dental care is the requirement for passports and visas. They believe the process is confusing and takes a long time. It’s not and it doesn’t.

Did you know you can obtain a passport application at your local post office? You can also arrange to have your passports photos taken there, and then the post office will send the paperwork to the U.S. State Department. You can complete the form online and then print it out or print. You can also download a Passport Application from the government by accessing Travel.State.gov. All you have to do is pay the fee. Send along any other identifying documents they request. Passport requirements differ in other countries so medical or dental tourists should call their consulate or embassy to find out.

The visa is a stamp placed in your passport by the visited country’s embassy or consulate that allows you to enter that country. For example, if you want to travel to India for medical care, you’d send your passport to the Indian embassy or consulate in your country. They will place a visa in your passport telling you how long you can stay. They then send the passport back to you in the mail. If you can appear at the embassy or consulate in person, you can wait a few hours for them to process your visa there and then pick up your passport/visa the same day or the next day.

You may obtain medical visas from growing numbers of countries around the world, expressly designed to meet the needs of medical travelers and medical and dental tourists traveling for dental implants, cosmetic surgery, obesity and weight loss, orthopedics and even cardiac care including India, Jordan, Costa Rica, Brazil, Croatia and dozens of others.

Once you enter the country you’re visiting, immigration or customs agents will stamp your visa with your date of arrival. When you leave, they also stamp your visa. Some visas are good for multiple visits and some are only good for one.

It’s not as complicated as you think and the minor inconvenience is more than worth the time and effort.

An overwhelming number of Americans live every day without health coverage. So do most of the people around the world. You don’t think about it when you’re fine, but when you’re sick or you have an accident or start falling ill, it becomes a big deal.

Health insurance coverage is expensive. Many families choose groceries and shelter over medical insurance or health coverage premiums. Still, that doesn’t mean you don’t have access to some of the world’s greatest surgeons or hospitals.

With an online resource like PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal based in Colorado, USA, medical travel and global medical tourism information and facility descriptions and certification for international travelers seeking affordable yet quality medical care and services are at your disposal with the click of a mouse. Why not take advantage of a surgery abroad that costs about a tenth of what you’d pay for the same procedure in the U.S.
