India is one of the oldest countries in the world that offered state of the art medical services to many acute and chronic ailments since ages. The Great Indian Medical Practitioners ‘Charak’a and ‘Sushrutha’ developed the Medical and Surgical Procedures much before the world knows about medicine to many diseases. The Charaka Samhitha is considered as the Oldest Writing in the Medical History which guided many of the medical practitioners across countries. The ‘Sushruta Samhita' contains the major surgical text of the Vedas and is considered to be the most advanced compilation of surgical practices of its time. India is the mother land for the alternate medicinal practices like Ayrveda, Unani and Nature Cur also. Our Ancient Indian Medical Practitioners performed complicated surgical procedures with equipment available naturally in those times. After the development of Allopathic Medicine, our Medical Practitioners adopted the best possible methods for curing the ailments of the people with utmost care thus making India the best among the world in health care. This has paved way for attracting many people from all over the world to chose India as the Best Place for curing their diseases. Travelling from one place to another place for the purpose of Medical needs is termed as Medical Tourism. Off late, this has developed as the most prominent service sector and is creating a lot of business and employment opportunities to the organizations and localities offering this service. In this back drop, the authors have attempted to focus on the concept and highlighted the recent developments in the area of Medical Tourism.

Abstract: Medical tourism is a growing phenomenon with policy implications for health systems, particularly of destination countries. Private actors and governments in Southeast Asia are promoting the medical tourist industry. This article presents a conceptual framework that outlines the policy implications of medical tourism's growth for health systems, drawing on the cases of Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia and other hubs for medical tourism. Variables for further analysis of the potential impact of medical tourism on health systems are also identified. The framework can provide a basis for empirical, in country studies weighing the benefits and disadvantages of medical tourism for health systems. The policy implications described are of particular relevance for policymakers and industry practitioners in other Southeast Asian countries with similar health systems where governments have expressed interest in facilitating the growth of the medical tourist industry. This article calls for a universal definition of medical tourism and medical tourists to be enunciated, as well as concerted data collection efforts, to be undertaken prior to any meaningful empirical analysis of medical tourism's impact on health systems.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
2. Medical tourism can be broadly
defined as provision of ‘cost effective’
private medical care in collaboration
with the tourism industry for patients
needing surgical and other forms of
specialized treatment. This prcoess is
being facilitated by the corporate sector
involved in medical care as well as the
tourism industry- both private and
public.
Introduction
3. Objectives-
To analyse the Indian Medical Tourism
market based on medical tourism services
provided and top five sources of medical
tourists for India.
To study strength, weakness, opportunities
and threats of Medical Tourism in India.
To analyse the growth of Medical Tourism
in India.
4. Medical tourists are generally residents of the
industrialized nations of the world and primarily
come from
The United States
Canada
Bangladesh
Western Europe
Australia
Middle East
But more and more, people from many other
countries of the world are seeking out places where
they can combine vacationing and obtaining their
medical care at an affordable cost.
Patients-
5. The medical tourism in India has been increasing every year for
the spectrum of treatments that are being offered in most major
hospitals which are:-
Cardiac Surgery
Orthopeadic Gynaecology Obesity Surgery
Dentistry
Urology
Opthalmology
Cosmetic Surgery
6. India offers World Class Medical Facilities,
comparable with any of the western countries.
India has state of the art Hospitals and the best
quailified doctors. With the best infrastructure,
the best possibble medical facilities,
accompanied with the most competitive prices,
you can get the treatment done in India at the
lowest charges.
India is in the process of becoming the “ Global
Health Destination”.
7. The cost of medial services in India is almost
30% lower to that in Western countries and the
cheapest in South-east Asia.
Indian hospitals excel in cardiology and
cardiothoracic surgery, joint replacements,
transplants, cosmetic treatments, dental care &
orthopeic surgery.
9. SWOT Analysis of Medical Tourism
Indian doctors are recognized as amongst the best at
international levels; skillful, qualified, share information
with patients and are readily available, whenever
required.
High quality treatment in low cost.
Medical technology, equipment, facilities and
infrastructure are at par with international standards.
Doctors and staff good at English which makes it
comfortable for tourists from English speaking countries.
Foreigners are also attracted to Indian Systems of
Medicine like Ayurveda, Yoga.
Strength
10. As of 2011, India only had 19 JCI and 63 NABH
accredited hospitals which decreases the size of
potential market especially for customers from
developed countries.
Though the Cost of treatment is less in India, other
costs like accommodation may prove to be inhibitive,
especially for customers from low income economies.
Maximum medical tourist is from non English
speaking parts of the world which highlights the need
for training of linguists for example specialists of
Arabic.
Weakness
11. Employers in US are looking for ways to decrease
their employees medical expenses providing
appropriate health coverage concurrently.
Employers will look for low cost care in India and
other Asian countries.
The medical care facilities in other South Asian
countries are also not up to the mark. Patients from
these countries find good quality care in
neighborhood, where travel time as well as the
cultural divide is less.
Countries that operate public health-care systems
are often so taxed that it can take considerable time
to get non-urgent medical care.
Opportunities
12. Lack of infrastructure and visa problems.
High competition from other Asian countries
like Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia etc.
Threats
13. Indian Medical Tourism Market Scenario
Rs. 5000-
10000 crore
2012
2019
Rs. 30000-
40000 crore
14. The Current Scenario
Medical Tourism is poised to be the next Indian success
story after Information Technology.
According to a CII study the Industry’s earning potential
estimated at Rs. 30,000- 40,000 Crore by 2019.
Medical tourism can contribute Rs 30,000- 40,000 Crore
additional revenue for up- market tertiary hospitals by 2019
and will account for 9- 12 % of the total healthcare delivery
market.
15. Major Service Providers in Indian Medical Tourism-
Apollo Hosp.
Escorts Hosp.
Fortis Hosp.
Hinduja
Mumbai’s Asian
Heart Institute
AIIMS
Arvind Eye Hosp.
Manipal Hosp.
Mallya Hosp.
16. Emerging hubs in India for Medical Tourism-
Jaipur
Delhi
Mumbai
Bangalore
Chennai
Kolkata
17. Growth-
The commitment to provide comprehensive healthcare to all
citizens, irrespective of their paying capacity, was given up
by the Indian government after 30 years of the Indian
independence.
After the globalization and liberalization of Indian economy
on 1991, the government of India has opened up medical
service to the voluntary and private sectors for foreign
tourists and other citizen who can pay to get the high tech
medical services.
18. As a part of medical tourism, India is recognized as the cradle for
the test tube babies and is popular for surrogacy services .
Over than these, India offer high tech cardiac, pediatric, dental,
cosmetic and orthopedic surgical services as well as the traditional
healing systems.
In 2017 the size of the industry was around Rs. 10,000 crores.
India’s medical tourism sector is expected to experience an
exponential annual growth rate , making it a Rs. 40,000 crore
industry by 2019.
Estimates of the value of medical tourism to India go as high as $9
billion a year by 2020.
19. Medical Tourism product in India-

Afghanistan- 17%
Iran- 7.5%
63%- Bangladesh
4% -Oman
Maldives- 8.5%
21. Cost Comparison between India & USA-
Procedure US India
Heart bypass 30 lac 7 lac
Angioplasty 24 lac 90k – 1 lac
Hysterectomy 13 lac 2.2 lac
Knee Replacement

22. India is emerging as an attractive, affordable for
healthcare & BUT there are some challenges that the
country has to overcome to become a tourist
destination with competent health care industry.
The government should step in the role of a regulator
and a facilitator of private investment in healthcare.
An apex body for the industry needs to be formed to
promote the India brand abroad and aid inter-sectoral
coordination.
Joint ventures with overseas partners and
establishment of MEDICITIES will help in India
building a significant advantage and leadership
position in the industry.
Conclusion-
