It can be safely assumed that with the ever growing burden and load of patients on the state run government hospitals world over, ever rising costs of private consultancy and treatment, especially in the developed countries and last but not the least the availability of expertise and state of the art equipment and technology in developing countries like Pakistan, the trend and the feasibility of surgical tourism is expected to attract more and more patients from world over to countries like Pakistan and destinations like Ammar Medical Complex that ensure patient safety and satisfaction in all concerned areas. Medical tourism to health facilities like Ammar are also on the rise because of the consultants available who happen to be either GMC(GENERAL MEDICAL COUINCIL)registered and others being American board certified, factors that are reassuring for the patients that they are being treated by consultants of the highest quality in terms of their professional accomplishments. Apart from the medical aspect, the hospital administration at Ammar ensures that all the minor details of the trip are looked after including the tourism aspect of the trip. Trips are arranged for the patients to prominent localities of the city allowing them to get an insight into the culture and architecture of the ancient city of Lahore and its rich history that dates back to the era of the Munhall Empire or perhaps even earlier. Most of the foreign patients at Ammar thoroughly enjoyed their interaction with the local people, many became extremely fond of the local dishes (food) and delicacies and also developed a taste for the locally designed garments which were especially appreciated by our female patients. Hence, most of our patients have had excellent experience at Ammar and left Pakistan with extremely fond memories of the city of Lahore.

For those patients who are thinking of flying over to Pakistan for their surgery at Ammar, it is to bring to their attention that the medical tourism package offered covers expenses regarding their surgery, Anaesthesia, medicine and surgical disposables used in the operation theatre, room medicine, consultations before and after the surgery by the surgeon and the anaesthetist. The package does not include their travel expenses and their lodging as it is entirely for the patient to decide which airline to chose and which hotel to stay at. However, the hospital administration can facilitate and help the patient sort out these modalities. The package covers for the expenses of the surgery for which the patient has decided to visit, any condition (medical) other than what is the objective of the visit is not included in the package and should the patient require additional or treatment other than what the package covers has to be paid for separately and is treated as an additional entity to the already decided package.
