    Report: Bush Considers Outsourcing Some HIV/AIDS Care To India
    by Peter Hacker, 365Gay.com Asia Bureau Chief

    March 3, 2006 - 12:01 am ET

    (New Delhi) Press reports from India following a meeting between President Bush and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh suggest the US is considering outsourcing some HIV/AIDS care to that country.

    The reports cite a joint statement issued following the meeting on trade, security and HIV/AIDS that said health tourism from the US to India was an area with "enormous potential for collaboration".

    Given India's "world-class medical care facilities at reasonable costs, the two countries could leverage Indian expertise for their economic and social benefit" the Times of India quotes the joint statement as saying.

    The two countries agreed to harmonize their healthcare systems and develop specialized medical insurance and legal packages for US patients to boost health tourism.

    By health tourism, do they mean that people with HIV/AIDS will be traveling to India for treatment?
