About US and our focus in among the "medical tourism" firms

global health 21 grew from a personal experience by a practicing American doctor living in Germany. As the founder and one of the senior partners, Dr. Mark Antony Galea was well intuned to the growing health care crisis in America and marvelled at the differences associated with the delivery of care at a price which is found to be surprisenly less in Germany..
 
His past personal experience may be similarly to your own. While attending college, Mark was in need of a operation from a sports injury, but with inadequate health insurance he was not able to afford the expected price for surgery. Although a student in medicine he had the knowlege to research an alternative solution that provoked him go offshore for the operation. That experience back in the year 2000 was considered quite radical for an American to travel to a foreign land for medical care.

At the time Mark was refferring to this endeavour as „outsourcing“ ones health care. A term quite popularly used from his previous career in customer servicing and in investment banking. “Outsoucing “ may reflect a negative response for many Americans whom have lost their jobs from their employers as globalization played its part to increase the bottom-line in many industries. For us here at global health 21 outsourcing is our goal to deliver to you an offshore solution based upon price.

So we maintain the „outsourcing“ idea by concentrating on the purpose for your need to go offshore. global health 21 finds the holiday aspect to be of second concern to your need. Many medical tourism firms offer exotic lands and sunny beaches to relax on. Germany cannot offer these amenities, however our cultural aspect can be equally impressive, like a boat trip up the Rhine, or a walk through a midevil town, or tour through an interesting museum.

Today global health 21 has embarked on its path over a time line of three main phases. The term outsoucing will stick with us because of our intention in the third phase to become an open-sourcing, virtual hospital. In phase three medical specialists from around the world will have the ability to offer their treatments through the digital medium and patients can seek directly the best treatment and cost as Dr. Galea had found for himself back in 2000.

global health 21 is serving the complete handling of your care from your original contact to our contact doctors, the data retrieval to the best doctor founded among our excellent German hospitals (as engaged in phase one), to the booking for your tavel and hotel, to the conciege services, to the selected hosiptal, to your return home and follow up local care physician.

We are a group of contact doctors, administrative, and logistical group that is representing in our phase one initiative five of our very best hospital companies and clinics founded in Germany. Contact us and we can begin to find a solution to your health need.
