| Top Destinations For Medical Tourism |
While medical tourism in India is growing rapidly compared to the other medical and health tourism hubs all over the world, the overall trend is growing as more countries are joining in. Also, more and more health insurance companies are dabbling their feet in medical tourism. MedTrava offers the Global Health Benefit Plan, which attaches to traditional insurance plans and allows the user the option of going overseas for expensive surgery. There is no doubt, that medical and health tourism is a booming industry.
As evidenced by the growth of medical tourism in India and in other countries, a significant number of individuals are choosing to pursue quicker and less expensive hip replacement surgery or a heart valve transplant options that are available overseas.
Medical and health tourism hotspots may be experiencing a boost, but each hub offers different options than the other while maintaining the same high quality. Here are some of the top destinations for medical travel all over the globe: |

Close proximity to the United States as well as medical advances have made Mexico a prime medical tourism destination. |

Singapore – Singapore has been established as a leading medical hub in Asia. As such, Singapore medical facilities and professionals offer their expertise for such procedures as: cardiology, neurology, oncology, ophthalmology, and cosmetic as well as orthopedic surgery. |
|
Thailand – Thailand’s exotic beauty as well as its availability of advanced medical treatments, makes Thailand an excellent place to travel for any type of medical procedure. Some top procedures include: hip replacement surgery, heart-bypass surgery, and dental implants just to name a few. Today many Thai doctors have US or UK medical degrees and certification.

There are specific countries or destinations which are known as the best places to go to for cosmetic surgery: Costa Rica, Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, and Turkey. Bolivia and Colombia are also popular for their plastic surgery services. These countries are better-equipped in this field as compared to other countries’ medical tourism capabilities.
For a country to be able to develop their medical tourism industry, its doctors and practitioners should be properly trained and disciplined. All the necessary equipment must be available and updated. Offering world-class recovery options is another one of the attractive perks that might ultimately influence a potential visitor’s decision. Having a good combination of solid training, equipment, and facilities is what makes a medical tourism destination appealing to those looking for medical treatment overseas. |
