Medical tourism is a relatively new type of tourism. More and more people who need high-quality medical examination or treatment seek to find the most advantageous offers from foreign clinics and specialists. We present to your attention five leading countries that are ready to offer a high level of services for a reasonable fee.
India is ready to offer the best conditions for the mentioned category of tourists. You can rest assured of the quality of services, because the lion's share of specialists were trained at the best universities in England and the United States. The average cost of a doctor's services will be 5 thousand dollars, which is several times cheaper than in the countries of Europe and America. In particular, patients will be charged $ 500 for laser vision correction, while in the United States they will have to pay 8-10 times more for such a service.
Previously, there was an opinion according to which a low price always spoke of insufficient quality of service or the qualifications of doctors. Today, views on this service sector have changed, and in many countries it has become possible to undergo examination and full-fledged treatment for a completely democratic fee. At the same time, clinics of countries that are still lagging behind in development are annually replenished with competent specialists and the best models of medical equipment.
The second and third places in the rating of the Russian medical tourism agency are occupied by Malaysia and Belarus. The cost of medical services in Malaysia is practically no different from the prices for similar services in Indian clinics.
But Minsk has recently been gaining popularity among foreigners due to an individual approach to each patient. The level of service is constantly growing, and foreigners will be able to save up to 70% of the amount on treatment. And you don't have to sacrifice the quality of service. So, coronary bypass surgery will cost only $ 9-10 thousand, which is 3-4 thousand more expensive than in India or Malaysia, and laser vision correction will require a financial investment of $ 700 from the patient. And you shouldn't think that all high-quality clinics are located in Minsk. After all, Vitebsk, for example, is famous for its specialists in the field of cardiology, and the best specialists in the field of genetics work in the clinics of Brest.
The honorable fourth place in the list is occupied by the clinics of Thailand. In many ways, the interest of tourists in this region is due to the opportunity to combine recreation on the seaside, methods of alternative medicine known in the region, as well as to undergo relatively inexpensive treatment in local clinics. The cost of service is about two times higher than similar ones that are provided in Belarus. So, vision correction will cost an average of $ 1,800.
Well, the last on our list was Singapore, where private and public clinics exist on an equal footing. Regardless of this, all medical institutions can boast of high quality services, modern equipment and competent specialists. Almost all staff speaks English. For bypass surgery, tourists will have to pay from 13 thousand dollars, and vision correction will cost 1.5-2 thousand dollars.
