The worldwide trends in trade of health-related services are looked at in detail in the fourth paper in The Lancet Series on Trade and Health, written by Professor Richard Smith, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK, and colleagues. In their analysis, the authors use the classification provided by the WTO for the General Agreement on Trade and Services (GATS): cross-border supply of health services, consumption of services abroad, foreign direct investment, and movement of health professionals.   Please use the following URL for accessing the complete article: http://medicaltourism-gazette.blogspot.com/2009/02/wto-classification.html

Offshoring givesa great advantage in cost cut and benefits. And now Healthcare industry is focusing heavily on offshoring. WHAT COULD BE THE REASON BEHIND? The global healthcare industry is under pressure to reduce research and administrative costs and meet tighter compliance and security mandates in Europe and in the US. The market has thus begun to represent an outsourcing opportunity for IT players.  The global healthcare IT outsourcing market is estimated at around  USD80 billion and is growing by 12 percent every year.  Automation in the industry is equally low. As pressure from consumers increases, players will need to outsource an increasing share of their IT budget. With costs six t...

last week I happened to be in Rohtak where my in-laws live. my father-in-law was very ill for a long time private hospital treatment was ineffective. since there is a famous Post-Graduate Medical institute (PGIMS) In rohtak which has many renouned specialists, we decided to try our luck there. This was my 1st brush with a govt hospital it was an eye opener for me.  Written instructions on display along with personnel at enquiry counters who have the attitude of an insecure ageing movie actress ensured that the harassed harrowed patients their relatives who are a little less inclined towards literacy run around like headless chicken. Endless paperwork which needs to be filled presented at a ...

Frankly speaking, India should be developing a more balanced approach. It has to be a combination govt and pvt sector. Owing to the immense population, sharing of responsibilities is the only way forward. Instead of conflict between the 2...

By Shane Starling, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) has signaled its intention to blacklist 125 nutrients including forms of glucosamine, aloe vera and krill because it says they are not being used in products, according to the US Department of Agriculture Foreign Agriculture Service (FAS).   Others that appear on the list include isomaltodextranase, chitin, quercetin, mulberry bark extract, ginger extract and calcinated calcium and Eucalyptus leaf extract.   But it is believed the bans are not on the ingredients par se, just specific forms that have slipped out of usage. The USDA said the MHLW was requesting additional information from the companies concerned that may ...

The step is totally wrong as it will promote a single step policy for starting regulating different medical paramedical education and ultimately supporting the private education in India.

Next Monday, June 15, is a big day for the European healthy foods and food supplements industries. Let’s call it Big Monday. Or J15. The Buddhists call them “turning around days” – destiny-altering days where things can never be the same again – and that is what J15 is shaping up to be for the health claims regime here in Europe. Either things will be a lot clearer about how to gather and present health claim-backing data, or industry better start accepting that Europe is going to be a health claims wasteland come 2010. Is your company factoring in worst-case scenarios? On J15, about 120 executives from some of the biggest food, supplements and ingredients companies in Europe will convene a...
