TORONTO -- 10/31/08 --
Star Hospitals (
www.starhospitals.net), a North
American medical tourism service, is helping millions worldwide gain access
to high quality, timely, and affordable medical treatment overseas with the
launch of its new Web site:
www.starhospitals.net.
The Web site goes a step beyond the company's present call center, which is
operated by doctors, physician assistants, paramedics, physiotherapists,
and other medical professionals by creating a password protected folder
feature that ensures absolute privacy.
Star hospitals.net provides an instant resource for concise and
up-to-the-minute information related to medical travel that allows patients
the opportunity to engage in a "live chat" with facility doctors, who will
answer questions about traveling overseas for healthcare.
Additionally, because Star Hospitals understands the importance of a
companion while traveling for medical treatment, they have dedicated a page
on their site to feature their extensive companion programs.
"This new Web site is designed to help people make informed decisions about
every aspect of medical travel," says Kumar Jagadeesan, vice president of
Star Hospitals.net. "With the current state of the economy, more people
than ever are looking at medical travel as a high quality, cost-effective
medical option that offers a wide choice of procedures without the wait."
Star Hospitals.net is utilizing their new Web site to announce that the
majority of their hospitals are accredited or working toward accreditation
by the Joint Commission International (JCI), the National Accreditation
Board of Hospitals (NABH), the International Standards Organization (ISO),
and/or other facilities in India, Singapore, and Thailand. A link is
provided so users can easily view pertinent details and navigate to the
coordinating hospitals' respective Web site.
"Our goal is to offer a quick and educational way for people to learn more
about medical procedures and surgeries abroad, some of which could save
users 60 to 80 percent of the cost of a similar procedure in their native
country," Jagadeesan adds.
