Sounds too good to be true? Well consider this:
If you need any medical treatments (from cosmetic to heart surgery) the cost of these abroad is far cheaper than in the US or Europe.
So, you can have treatments done abroad, get world class treatments, get a free holiday and have cash left over!
This concept is called medical tourism and is a multi billion pound industry and growing at a rapid rate worldwide.
You may not have thought about combining a holiday with medical treatments, but if you think about the concept it’s compelling.
Major medical tourist destinations are among the most beautiful places on earth and offer savings of 90% or more over hospitals in the US or Europe, with no compromise on standards of treatment.
You can therefore take advantage of:
Huge cost savings due to lower infrastructure costs in these countries.
Get treatments that are on par with the best in the world.
Get quick treatment with no long or frustrating waiting lists.
When the treatment is over relax and enjoy a relaxing holiday of a lifetime.
Medical tourism has started to grow as low cost travel has opened up these destinations.
Consider this:
Major heart surgery in the US is around $40,000 in the UK around £25,000 and in India just $5 – 7,000. That’s a saving of up to $35,000.
Operations don’t have to be major either to save enough money to fund holidays with medical tourism.
There has for example, been a huge growth in people seeking cosmetic surgery and dental treatments abroad as these treatments are costly at home.
Where are the medical tourists going?
Well developed destinations for medical tourism include:
India, Thailand, Malaysia, Brazil, Costa Rica and some Eastern European countries.
What is the most popular destination?
The world leader is India, where medical tourism is supported by the government and the industry has grown into a multi billion pound industry, with over 500,000 people travelling for treatments in 2005 alone.
Its not just individuals who have become interested in medical tourism in India:
The UK government has looked at using Indian facilities to help its over stretched National Health Service, to cut costs and waiting times.
India leads the way in medical tourism due to:
World class facilities, its medical staff and doctors that are known throughout the world for their expertise and professionalism
Enjoy the holiday of a lifetime
Finally, India is a country that has something for everyone and is one of the largest and most beautiful countries on earth.
Scenery varies from the stunning beaches of Goa, to the mighty Himalayan Mountains.
In terms of wildlife holidays, India is a bird watchers paradise has fantastic fishing and of course you can see animals such as elephants and the mighty Bengal tiger, in stunning national parks.
Adventure holidays include trekking in the Himalayas and world class white water rafting.
You can also of course, experience thousands of years of culture and wonders of the world, such as the Taj Mahal.
India has something for everyone and after your treatment is complete, its time to enjoy the holiday of a lifetime.
Combining your medical treatments & holiday makes perfect financial sense!
If you require medical treatments of any kind consider becoming a medical tourist and get a free holidays with the savings on your treatment with no compromise on quality.
Sounds good? It is and millions of people are now taking advantage of the concept of medical tourism and you should consider it to.
