5. Risks of Medical Treatment
All medical and surgical procedures carry inherent risks, including but not limited to:

6. Risks of Medical Travel
Travelling abroad for medical treatment introduces additional considerations:
- Travel after surgery: Long-haul flights after certain procedures may increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or other complications. Follow your doctor's advice on when it is safe to fly.
- Follow-up care: Continuity of care may be more challenging when returning to your home country. Ensure you have a clear follow-up plan with both your treating doctor abroad and a local physician at home.
- Legal recourse: Medical malpractice laws differ across jurisdictions. Legal recourse for medical complications may be governed by the laws of the country where treatment was performed.
- Language and cultural differences: Despite the availability of interpreters, nuances in communication may arise. Ensure you fully understand all medical information before consenting to treatment.
