Arthroscopy Benefits in India

The benefits of arthroscopy over traditional open surgery include the joint need not be opened up fully, instead only two small incisions are made- one for the arthroscope and one for the surgical instruments. It has reduced recovery time that may increase the rate of surgical success because of reduced trauma. Arthroscopy is especially useful for professional athletes, who frequently injure their joints and require quick healing time. Also, with arthroscopy there is less scarring because of the smaller incisions made. The surgical instruments used during the arthroscopy are smaller than the traditional instruments. The surgeons view the joint area on a video monitor and can diagnose and repair torn joint tissue, such as ligaments and menisci or cartilage.

Why Zambia Patients Travel to India for Arthroscopy?

According to WHO, Zambia has been struggling to improve its healthcare system for years now with the most abnormal doctor-patient ratios which now stands at 1 doctor per 12,000 patients. Due to inadequate infrastructure, ignorance, refusal of practitioners to accept postings in the rural areas and fewer amounts of funds, the healthcare situation in Zambia has been worsening day-by-day. Also there is shortage of the assisting medical staff who are not enough competent to even provide the basic healthcare needs for the ailing population of Zambia. The situation is even worse for complex treatments such as orthopedic surgeries. As per the statistics by Zambia Medical Association (ZMA), Osteogenesis Imperfecta is quite prevalent in Zambia. With just a handful of surgeons dictating this crucial arena of healthcare, the treatment packages for Arthroscopy are skyrocketing. Therefore, the Zambians have to look for places such as India, where such surgeries are readily available and at reasonable prices.
