Christus Muguerza is part of Christus Health, a network of hospitals based in Texas. Global MD and Christus Muguerza were featured speakers at the patient-centered event that focused on workshops and information for bariatric surgery patients.
During breakout sessions and consultations, Global MD and Christus Muguerza talked with patients about the advantages and risks of medical travel with interested patients. Patients received Global MD’s Free Guide to Medical Travel explaining the medical travel process and what patients who are considering medical treatment abroad should know.
Pre- and post-bariatric surgery patients are increasingly turning to cost effective alternatives for care after weight loss. Often formerly obese patients need reconstructive cosmetic and orthopedic surgery that is not covered by health insurance. Others need orthopedic surgeries that come with large insurance co-payments. Financial obstacles often get between formerly obese patients and their goal of getting their body and their life back to normal.
On Saturday, Global MD and Christus Muguerza offered these patients a treatment alternative. With a network of elite international medical institutions in Asia and Latin America, Global MD consulted with patients about their options for surgery abroad.
