(1888PressRelease) May 04, 2011 - The economy of South Africa is largest in the continent of Africa. The standard of healthcare in South Africa is considered the best on the African continent, particularly in the urban and coastal areas. South Africa has been enjoying the status of one of the most advanced destinations for medical treatment in the African continent.

However, in the recent past, South African doctors have started looking towards India for their tertiary healthcare needs. Standing a testimony to this is a 59 year old Zimbabwean patient referred to India by South African Doctors who had earlier performed Angioplasty & Stenting on him. Wockhardt Hospital doctors evaluated him with Echocardiography and Angiography which showed blocked stented coronary artery with poor heart function (LVEF of only 30%). This patient got subsequently operated for beating heart Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery at Wockhardt Hospitals by Dr. Jayarama Pai, Senior Cardiac Surgeon at Wockhardt Hospitals. The patient was operated for multiple grafts and has recovered faster. He was comfortably discharged on the 9th day.

The happiness of the Zimbabwe Citizen is not an aberration. For the past few years now, India has been playing host to patients from across the globe seeking trustworthy & quality healthcare. India is now increasingly being seen as one of the reliable & affordable destinations for advanced medical treatment - a recognition for which Wockhardt Hospitals have been one of the significant contributors.

Heart Care or Spine Care, Geriatric Care or Paediatric Care, Invasive Surgeries or Non-Invasive Surgeries, Wockhardt Hospitals have always focussed on Infrastructure, Experienced Clinicians & Hospitality to lend itself the recognition it commands today.

"Doctors and patients today are increasingly being selective about their healthcare provider. They are researching online for affordable hospitals which house high-end clinical expertise and who exude transparency in their medical services" said Chinmay Gheewala, Head - International Patient Services, Wockhardt Hospitals Group, India.

With a network of 8 hospitals, Wockhardt Hospitals have been growing in reputation not just nationally, but internationally too. Wockhardt Hospitals are now emerging as preferred choice for Heart Care & Cardiac Surgeries along with joint replacement and Neurosciences.

Wockhardt Hospital's International Service Standards, Ethical Practices & Quality Outcomes have not only been pushing Wockhardt Hospitals in the International 'Elite' Category but have also been throwing pointers instilling higher faith & credibility for India's Medical Fraternity.
