Shalby Hospitals will now be setting up a hospital (considered to be country's first hospital) completely dedicated to medical tourism in Ahmedabad. The 400-bed multi-specialty hospital will specially treat NRI, foreign, and domestic tourists coming to Gujarat for medical treatment. The project is expected to start in four months and would get operational by 2010. On initiatives taken in medical tourism, healthcare conferences, and telemedicine Shalby Hospitals started promoting medical tourism way back in 1994 when it did first total knee replacement on a foreign patient (resident of UK). Since then patients from all over the world including the US, Dubai, Kenya, Nairobi, UK, and Australia have been operated at Shalby Hospitals. We operate around 300-400 foreign patients every year. We have dedicated a floor exclusively to cater to foreign patients with special features for their basic needs; and the facilities include: cordless telephones for each bed, interpreter service, mobile reading cart, Wi-Fi internet services to stay connected with their near and dear ones, and more. To facilitate and make the process smoother for foreign patients, we have associated with most of the major international medical insurance providers like CIGNA International, USA, BUPA International, UK, Vanbreda International, Belgium, International SOS, CEGA International UK, Allianz Worldwide, Ireland, and Prestige International, Singapore. Views on accreditation Accreditation is a process of assessment of an organization, which is required to set standards for providing high quality services and is necessary to ensure and maintain quality. Accreditation is a measurable level of excellence, and the process itself improves performance. Further, many people are now looking for medical insurance coverage. They want to spend out-of-pocket. And now even the insurance companies insist on approved and accredited hospitals, labs, and other centers to qualify for their involvement. Quality improvement programs can develop public trust and confidence by demonstrating that the organization is seriously making efforts in improving patient care. On role of government in healthcare infrastructure sector Government can improve upon the infrastructure sector in the healthcare industry by doing public-private partnerships with major corporate hospitals and healthcare institutions. Other Comments We trying to become one of the best joint replacement centers of the world; offer state-of-the-art world class services in other super-specialties like cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, spine and trauma surgery, neurosurgery, urology, cosmetic and hair transplant surgery, bariatric surgery, endoscopy, laparoscopy, and so on.
