MEDICAL TOURISM?

Medical tourism (also known as medical travel or global health service) is a process where a patient is traveling from his/her home country to another country, in order to receive medical, or health and wellness services.

Medical tourism is experiencing an incredible booming, as people from all around the world plan their travel abroad with the purpose of receiving some medical service and/or rehabilitation in another country.

Every year, over 8.000.000 of people from around the world travel to other ( mostly to non-EU european countries, AS WELL AS TO Central and south American and far east countries).

Why travel abroad to receive  medical treatment?

There are many reasons for traveling to receive treatment outside of one’s home country

  • Health issue is sometimes extremely rare or requiring specialized knowledge, approach and care;
  • Extremely high prices of possible treatment

In order to receive special treatment, you may want to go to another country, where doctors are highly skilled and experienced in treatment of your unique health issue.
Medical traveling is becoming increasingly popular and now represents, for many people, a feasible option for the solving of their health issues
The answer is rather simple!!!

  1. All kinds of health services are much cheaper abroad (min. 30% and even up to 80%)
