StopMedicalScams, an information resource that helps victims of medical tourism scams recover their money, has announced that it has launched its international website.

Atlanta, Georgia – January 18, 2019 – Headquartered in Atlanta, StopMedicalScams was founded in response to the ever-growing trend of people traveling abroad to receive medical care that, in far too many cases, turns out to have been injurious to their health.

“Specialized, elective medical treatment is generally not covered by health plans,” notes James Greenwood, chairman of StopMedicalScams. “Prospective patients, therefore, are frequently deterred from undergoing these treatments in their own countries by high prices, long waiting lists and prohibitions on experimental or controversial therapies, or all three,” he continues. “This has generated a thriving medical tourism industry in countries such as Brazil, Colombia, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Thailand, and Turkey, among others.” Greenwood states. “Aside from saving money, procedures that a patient would have to wait months for at home can be performed immediately upon payment in the destination country.”

Regardless of the suitability of the particular treatment the patient signed up for, they are often recruited by unethical medical tourism brokers, either back home or in the destination country. In such cases, Greenwood explains, patients may end up being treated in a facility that lacks accreditation or that fails to meet basic standards of professionalism, comfort or hygiene. Doctors and nurses may be inept, improperly prepared or even unlicensed. Combined with the stress of international travel while ill or after surgery, it should come as no surprise that rates of infection and other serious complications are higher in these cases.

Regardless of the quality of care, once the patient comes home, if any problem arises, it often is difficult to treat. Even if the facility abroad is willing to accept responsibility (which is by no means a given), returning costs money and is often physically painful. Of course, the patient can decide to get a botched job fixed at home, but that will cost much more than the original procedure did in the first place.

“Should patients seek compensation or reimbursement after a botched medical procedure abroad on their own, they will inevitably find that it is exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, due to the various jurisdictions involved and their disparate laws and regulations,” Greenwood warns. “That’s where StopMedicalScams can help.”
