Rosemarie Lyntzberger, shares her experience with Southasia.de after her successful hip resurfacing surgery at Workhardt Hospitals, Mumbai, India
Rosemarie Lyntzberger, a German business woman based in Turkey shares her experience with Southasia.de after her successful hip resurfacing surgery at Workhardt Hospital in the western Indian city of Mumbai.
Early this year Rosemarie -- who is into tourism business -- encountered a leg ailment which curtailed her active life.
She made extensive enquiries with the Turkish hospitals. She wanted to know what exactly was wrong with her leg, what are the corrective procedures available, what are the latest advances in the field, what is the success rate and how long will it take her to bounce back to her active life.
Unfortunately she could not find a satisfactory answer to her queries.
Around this time, she happened to read "Stern," a popular German magazine, which had a special feature on India. It featured India's advancement in medical field.
After corresponding with Workhardt Hospital through mails and satisfied with the replies that she will have to undergo special hip resurfacing surgery, she landed in Mumbai.
Rosemarie speaking from Workhardt Hospital, Mumbai where she is undergoing post surgery physiotherapy told SOUTHASIA.DE that her entire medical experience in India was wonderful.
According to Dr. Kaushal Malhan of Workhardt who performed the surgery told SOUTHASIA.DE that the cost of the operation in India is only around Euro 5000, whereas it would cost a patient somewhere around Euro 35000 in US/ Europe,
Goodwill Ambassador
Lyntzberger is highly impressed by the dedication of the medical team which was headed by Dr. Kaushal Malhan and the medical standards at the Workhardt Hospital and would recommend other patients likes her in Europe and elsewhere to come to India for such surgeries.
She would be more than happy to be the 'Goodwill' ambassador for India.
Medical Tourism Destination
India is fast emerging a medical tourism destination mainly due to its cost advantage and world class medical facility.
Dr. Malhan of Workhardt Hospital said that patients from Europe and America are more and more choosing India for their critical medical treatment.
This segment is perceived as one of the fastest growing sector. The Indian government has already constituted a task force to assess the opportunities for further promoting India as a health destination.
The Health Ministry has agreed to give fast track visa clearance to the medical patients on arrival In India.
