Welcome to Global Health 21!  

We are an international patient for care out source to open source group consisting of contact doctors that bridge you the patient in need to the best physicians, surgeons and health care givers for the diagnosis and treatment for serious, complex, and rare medical needs at an affordable price.

A $150.000 cardiac bypass surgery performed an American hospital can equally performed by top surgeons in German hospital for about $45.000.
 
Affordable surgeries that can be more than 60% the price including all services from airfare to hotel stay along with travel with your loved one can be conducted in a German Hospital.
 
Connecting you, the patient in need, from a distant land into the hands of a world renowned surgeon is becoming reality. The global link in the access of global medical communication along with ease in world travel is making the delivery of global care a medical standard.

Defining medical tourism has become a newly recognized insight to avoid the high cost of local health care with the adventure for travel. global health 21 maintains it position as purely outsourcing to avoid the price while open sourcing to commit in the future those health care givers to share their expertise to all in need.
 
global health 21 orchestrates the logistical and "hand-holdng" care from our initial telephone contact to you to the hands of the caring physician and their top medical staff, to your return home, and to your follow-up care home physician.

Our life line is divided into three main phases :
 
from out sourcing to open sourcing - health care for the future
 
Phase one : To deliver affordable care for American patients to German hospitals based on the remarkable reduction in price coupled with the consistant level of quality of care and legal protection as found in America.
Phase one is limited to a small selection of medical treatments among a limited hospital network.
 
Phase two : To increase the number of treatments among the doctor and hospital network in Germany without sacrificing affordability and quality of care. Extending the scope in delivery of care among a larger pool of premium selected specialists and their associated hospitals beyond the borders of Germany. We plan to collaborate our efforts with The Leading Hospitals of the world group while adhering to affordable care.
 
Phase three : To maintain our altruistic efforts to provide a safe haven for care to all those in need without the hardships of financial constraints. To become in essence a virtual world hospital collaborating with an open source of medical and care server expertise to all those in need.
 

 Why we are here:

Ironically, we Americans like to say that we have the highest standard of living in the world, but at the same time we are the only nation that does not guarentee health care to every man, woman and child.

There are over 50 million Americans today without health insurance, regardless of whether we are employed, or living with a employed family member, or between jobs. We may have no health insurance- because we cannot afford the high premium costs, especially in a slowing economy with escalating living expenses.

Many of us also are becoming aware that our insurance deductables are rising to such a considerable level that the higher priced treatments have become imbareable to meet the co-payment costs. You may be surprised to find that with a good insurance plan you may expect to pay over $40,000 for a $150,000 heart operation. Other individuals may have lost their health insurance from a catastrophic medical expense. Others may have recently been denied payment from their medical bill because of earlier missed medical condition(s) not realized by a new insurance plan.

Why does this happen to us? Since 1945, many presidents have been anxious to promote universal health care. But they all seemed to underestimate the power from special interest groups. During Harry Truman's time it came from the AMA, and later on it was followed by the strength from the pharmaceutical, and health insurance firms. Together they have mustered the power to block legislation to create confusion and fear about enacting universal health care.

We believe today that America is on the right path for a change to universal health care, but obviously it will come in small steps over a long period of time. Global health 21 was created to help individuals now in need of health care at an afforadle price along with the safety and quailty of care. During our phase one mission we are engaged to service your health care needs by providing an outsanding group of german hospitals that have for years catered to international patients. The legal assurance of protection for any medical risks are found to be comparable to the American judiciary system. It is known that all German doctors have been required to know english from their medical training, and many speak english at a level of competence to most Americans. Also, the flight times within 8 hours from the east coast direct to Germany are more tolerable to meet than flying to culturally distant countries located on the other side of the globe.

You may find us to be a litle more expensive in medical costs than what care from the Far East may provide, but realize all the advantages to care in Germany rather than countries from the Far East. "Made in Germany" has always been signified by quality and the persuit for perfection. Wouldn't you perfer that achievment in your medical treatment?

global health 21 - phase one is purely a network of elite hospitals in Germany
where top German surgeons have been treating international patients for years
.
 
Why Germany ?
 
Germany´s socialized system of health care has become the icon for the modern world to emulate. It is a fact that the number of healthcare givers, and their healthcare institutions far outnumber any other country in the world. The German social democratic system has also provided a orderly legal system to protect the individual to the fullest means possible.
 
The level of medical universities are top in the world with most German doctors draw affiliations with their American medical colleages in American hospitals, institutions and medical research endeavours.
 
Many Americans are aware of the German mindset in the desire to achieve excellence.
It can be seen in almost all aspect of German culture and commercial production. "Made in Germany" has become a standard in excellence for quality without compromise. 
 
global health 21 has embarked on the stage to present to the American public a bridge to connect you to these outstanding German hospitals into the hands of top surgeons at a realistic price in line to what everyone in the modern society deserves.
