**** Well, that certainly proves that India can do things even
without govt. intervention. Now the question is who can afford
to use these services? Is it for dollar/euro bearing foreigners, the
select few of the newly rich desis, or the general population,
including the sector that does not feature in that shining India's
demography?

*** That must be tragic. Them enemy can have the Apollo's
services, but the good
citizenry are deprived, all because of the cursed -------
:-)?????
BTW, who are these Assamese who can afford to go to the Apollos
of India? Is it a broad cross section of the population or only those
select few?
*** In the meantime, the need for public places of
health-care excellence must have been abandoned entirely since it is
an impossibility in desi-demokrasy!

Mikeda,
Great idea. It is already happening - medical
outsourcing in India. It is somewhat like the early
day
of IT outsourcing. Roadwarriors of TCS going out and
selling offshore IT services. A friend of mine
branched out from IT into setting up a medical clinic
in Toronto and then tying up with Apollo Hospitals to
send patients there for certain kinds of surgeries. In
addition to 10 lakh healthworkers, you need medical
infrastructure of a high order. And other regions are
making giant leaps. Somewhere near Noida, VC companies
from Silicon Valley are lining up to invest in
Medicity - a huge town full of hospitals and health
workers catering to the offshore medical servicesmarket. And no, big brother GOI is not quite directingit.
Unfortunately while Dhaka could attract an Apollohospital, Guwahati still hasn't. Amazing isn't it.
Given that train loads of people still make the
journies to Mumbai and Vellore and Chennai every year
with their patients. All we have in Guwahati is
Downtown hospital which follows in letter and spirit
the Hotel California song ("You can check out anytime
but you may never leave" (unless you are dead)). It's
a shame.

Very Good!
Now look at the same problem low-budgetly:
United Group Programs, a health insurer in Boca Raton,
Florida, began offering the programme six months ago.
With medical costs skyrocketing in the United States
where Americans spend an estimated 16 per cent of the
GDP on healthcare and in Europe, the idea of going
abroad to get healthy is becoming more and more
attractive, Newsweek reported.
More than 150,000 North American and European are
currently seeking medical treatment abroad, it said.
Giving instances of the savings, Newsweek quoted
GlobalChoice Healthcare, a firm arranging foreign
procedures, as saying that angioplasty which costs
$50,000 in an American hospital can be performed for
merely $6000 in Mohali in India. Can make @ $2000 in
Bhalukpung,Dorongiri,Jonai,.MAKE IT POSSIBLE THRO'
"THE MISSION" .Ms Rini Kakoty in London will act as
facilitator!
The magazine quotes Abacas International, a leading
travel facilitator, estimating that medical tourism to
Asia could generate up to $4.4 billion by 2012.
*****************
Assam needs to create 10 Lakh Health workers( each
worker on a 5 year service contract)..Idea is to
create a delicate, youthful ,caring ,polite band of
Health Care Managers with masterity in American

highly educatedin Paramedics to receive,care,love,-be
friend-philosopher-guide to:
· 1 Lakh Retirees' beds in Himalayan foothills:

· Anytime 2 Lakh health tourists who will go
away after he/she becomes cured
· Anytime 2 Lakh recuperating fromTrauma/Operations/recovery from illnesses
And corresponding infrastructure like
