It took almost two months of rigorous planning that involved dealing with hospitals on both ends and making sure how various things such as – medical record transfer, availability of oxygen & medicines upon airlift, domestic, internatioanl airline / immigration approval, continous monitoring of vital condition while cruising up different altitude – are taken care.

Can’t agree more with what you say….Planning for all possible scenarios is a very very important process of facilitation. Whether its an outbound (going from U.S to intl ) or inbound (other countries to U.S. ) or domestic (state to state) medical touris, I would suggest folks out there to work with a facilitator who has well thought through their medical tourism process.
