Sorry to hear about you mother's condition. I pray to waheguru she gets well soon. In my opinion best is to contact Indian Consulate in Islamabad for available options and they can guide you to reliable sources. I wouldn't just rely on internet...

@movieguy7589: That was probably around 520 BC. Sushruta treated Gautama Buddha, who was born in 570 BC.

India will actually be a Super Power before that, by 2050, its supposed to be tied with the US.

[jothi501]

India is now a pharmaceutical Super Power now. Highly qualified doctors are available now in India. India is a first world in medical sciences. India will be a SUPER POWER by the year 2050.

[jothi501]

There are good doctors in India and in U.S.A.The people in America they know about the good doctors in U.S.A.Surgery is a highly complex one any where. Americans going to India should choose good surgens in India for surgery. There are lot of Britain and

U.S.A trainned AND EDUCATED DOCTORS IN iNDIA. AMERICAN DOCTORS GIVING WARNING TO AMERICANS GOING TO INDIA IS GOOD.Americans should choose good doctors in India.NODOUBT FOR MEDICAL TOURISM iNDIA IS A GOOD COUNTRY.

I did a quick search and I found this number, try calling and discuss first.

[chetansarkar]

These people are talking about the qualification and credential OF THE INDIAN DOCTORS!!!!

Idiots!!! Do they think that an unqualified person would be competent enough to perform such a complex surgery successfully.

[EsotericDesi]

American doctors are trying to say as if Indians are stupid... Most Americans can't even spot on map where India is, though it's a big nation. India's hospitals are far more superior and bigger than American hospitals... Plus, even when you go for checkup in USA's hospitals, reports are sent by American doctors to India for diagnosis...

[MrSigma]

As usual, the American doctor is on the defensive. If only more people can get rid of their stereotypes, they will realize that treatment in India for certain ailments is actually better than in the USA.

[cullen818]

I love the defensiveness of the reporting, being sure to stress how one is not in the US system. Ok, so what. The guy had no other choice due to his lack of insurance. I'd say his percentages were better in India than the 100% death outcome he was receiving in the US. BROKEN SYSTEM!!!
