Online, June 28, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Vancouver, British Columbia
Surgical Tourism Canada is pleased to announce that 55 CCSVI Procedures,out of its growing list of over 350 patients have been completed at its partner hospitals in India, The Apollo Hospitals and the Fortis healthcare Group in Bangalore, India. These two internationally recognized Indian healthcare behemoths are JCI accredited and have served millions of patients worldwide with successful outcomes. Surgical Tourism Canada is the only official Canadian representatives of these two hospitals, contrary to false claims on websites published by unscrupulous elements.

"The majority of the patients have undergone successful Liberation procedure at these world class facilities and are making considerable progress" said Yasmeen Sayeed, president and CEO of Surgical Tourism Canada, based in Vancouver, British Columbia.

"After the Liberation Procedure our patients undergo a customized comprehensive neurological rehabilitation at our partner facility, Soukya Holistic Health Centre, at Bangalore. This unique and specialized rehabilitation has benefitted our patients immensely and after spending a week at Soukya holistic health centre, our patients return home after undergoing a final consultation with their respective surgeons", added Sayeed.

The Neurological Rehabilitation offered by Surgical Tourism Canada and Soukya Holistic health centre is a must and a very integral part of the healing process after the CCSVI Liberation procedure". Said Paulette Marisis of Comox, British Columbia who underwent this rehabilitation after the Liberation Procedure.

The Surgical teams both in Bangalore and Chennai follow the protocol set by the pioneer of CCSVI, Dr. Pablo Zamboni and document the entire procedure for further ongoing research. The surgical teams at the Apollo Hospitals, Bangalore were the first to perform a Saphinous Venous grafting on one of our patient, where stenting was not an option. This procedure is considered a first in the world.

"I am a registered nurse from Canada and I came to the Apollo Hospitals to have the CCSVI MS Liberation Procedure. We were received by Yasmeen Sayeed, of Surgical Tourism Canada at the Airport and went to the hotel. After relaxing for a few days at the hotel we were admitted at the Apollo hospitals, Bangalore. Very nice hospital and very nice and experienced staff. They were very knowledgeable and competent. Our surgeon, Dr. Rehan Sayeed and his team were excellent. And we were so confident. The surgery went very well. I am very pleased with the treatment and care received at the Apollo Hospitals."The blood is flowing again, my feet were blue or purplish before and now its pink, my head is clear and I can think straight again and that makes me very happy, so I am pleased with the results and I am very excited to see what else can come with time", commented Joanne Wathmough from Calgary, Alberta.

Surgical Tourism Canada is Canada's largest and most trusted medical and surgical tourism service provider since 2005 and has sent hundreds of Canadians overseas for various surgical procedures unavailable in Canada.

Surgical Tourism Canada is the first in Canada to send MS patients to India for the Liberation Procedure. "We were instrumental in arranging the testing of patients for CCSVI, and invited Dr. Marian Simka to Vancouver to train the local testing facility in Vancouver. Also STC was instrumental in arranging the training of Dr. Vikas Gupta and Dr.Pradeep Mule of the Fortis hospitals, New Delhi to be trained by Dr. Simka, in Poland, contrary to false reports published by unscrupulous elements, said Glenn Sergius, STC's public relations director.

"We take care of the complete procedure from arrainging the initial testing, consultation with the surgeons at our partner hospital, preferred travel arrangements through our travel partners, Flight Centre and our official Airline, Lufthansa, receiving patients at the airports by our own staff, 5 star accommodation arrangements at our partner hotels, admissions to hospitals, post operative stay, rehabilitation, pre travel check up, and travel arrangements to return home. It does not end there, there is constant follow up, regular tests, and re-integration into the Canadian health care system. Our partner facilities are internationally accredited facilities and we do not use non accredited hospitals" said Yasmeen Sayeed, President & CEO of Surgical Tourism Canada.

Currently the registered patients with STC is in excess of 350 and STC is sending an average of 25 monthly to its partner facilities.
