If you are going through a surgery package company or third party, you should ask questions.

(It is unwise to send personal medical reports & photographs of your body parts to a medically unqualified person.)

Questions you should ask:

• Are you a qualified medical person with a full current license?
• If you are not qualified how can you check that my care is correct before and after my procedure?
• Can I have your CV and check out the credentials and registration with the organizations you have listed?
• What are the qualifications of your surgeons and can I have a CV to check them out?
• Are your surgeons qualified to do my procedure and how many have they done?
• Can I speak to a patient who has undergone the same procedure?
• Can I speak to the surgeon directly?
• Is he fully insured to practice at the hospital?
• Can I pay my hospital fees directly to the surgeon or hospital?
• Should I get medical insurance?
• Do you take total responsibility for my care if something goes wrong and will it cost more?
• After my surgery, will I have a follow up appointment with another surgeon back home or in my port of origin?
