HealthTravel Listings, News and Info

If you would like to leave the planning and selection up to someone else, we have
included some links to services that provide coordination and/or travel packages for
medical and dental health tourism.

A large draw to medical travel is convenience and speed. Countries that operate public
healthcare systems are often so over-taxed that it can take considerable time to get
non-urgent medical care. The time spent waiting for a procedure such as a hip
replacement can be a year or more in Britain and Canada; however, in Thailand a
patient could feasibly have an operation the day after their arrival.

Additionally, patients are finding that insurance either does not cover orthopedic
surgery (such as knee/hip replacement) or imposes unreasonable restrictions on the
choice of the facility, surgeon, or prosthetics to be used. Medical tourism for knee/hip
replacements has emerged as one of the more widely accepted procedures because
of the lower cost and minimal difficulties associated with the traveling to/from the
surgery.

Medical tourists may seek essential health care services such as cancer treatment
and brain and transplant surgery as well as complementary or 'elective' services such
as aesthetic treatments (cosmetic surgery).

What if you could afford the health care you deserve without going bankrupt or spending thousands of dollars in out of pocket expenses?

More and more consumers are realizing they can get the healthcare they need overseas without going bankrupt in the process. The problem with
health today is far too many people can't afford it. That is rapidly changing however...

Even better, what if you can vacation simultaneously?

While it sounds too good to be true, medical tourism is gaining popularity and recognition as a safe, cost effective and convenient method of
healthcare delivery.

If you or someone you know needs costly medical procedures, and can't afford healthcare in their home country, you are about to discover a new
way of ensuring your well being... without spending your life savings.
Wouldn't it be ideal to recover from medical procedures in the sun filled sand? Perhaps your idea of rest and relaxation involves touring exotic
locales. Most consumers aren't aware that for the price they pay for surgery in their home country, they can enjoy the same quality healthcare
abroad, enjoy a vacation... and still have money left over.

More and more consumers are left without choices when it comes to their healthcare. Rapidly escalating costs associated with necessary medical
procedures have resulted in many people going without the healthcare they need and deserve.

Fortunately there are choices for consumers who want quality healthcare without breaking the bank.

Have you heard of medical tourism? If you haven't you are about to learn about a new trend that may prove life saving... or life enhancing... for you
and your family members.

Many medical tourists are pleasantly surprised at the ease of which they can receive care, and the affordability of health care in other countries.
Most realized the same if not better quality healthcare abroad as they might in
their home country.

Medical tourism is for anyone, for everyone.

If you are:

- Uninsured or Underinsured

- Self-insured

- Self-employed

- Seeking voluntary surgery at
an affordable cost

- Looking for high quality alternatives to traditional over-expensive procedures...

You can now afford a face lift or kidney transplant without going bankrupt. More and more consumers are traveling thousands of miles from their
home, paying one-third the cost of healthcare and not compromising quality.

The Cost Of Surgery In Many Asian Nations Is Often One Third Or Less That In The U.S. And Europe...

A life-saving heart valve replacement may cost more than $200,000 in the United States. Imagine if you only had to pay $10,000 for the same
surgery
at a top notch, world renowned international surgery center?

More and more people are recognizing they can enjoy the benefits of medical tourism. And, you don't have to travel for major surgery only. You
can for example, get a dental bridge overseas for as little as $500 in many cases...a procedure that may cost thousands of dollars in the United
States.
