Medical tourism is a topical subject.  It depends on which side of the fence you are on – patient , patient with or without adequate funds , on what side of the “patient que”  you are on , or is there at queue at all.  People travel to foreign countries for products or services all the time .  Whether it is someone seeking jewelery or even a salami that is not available “at home”  or a Canadian on their way to purchase a Canadian NAFTA Canadian made Toyota only to discover that when the costs are all counted they are ahead of the game financially and even had a sort of holiday or vacation to boot.  It may be true that the lovely people at the border may make your like difficult, even if you are well prepared – but at the end of the day you have your car and your savings and that’s  that.

Medial tourism is no different.  Patients travel to foreign countries in order to receive medical care or medical care , or pharmaceuticals  that are not available at home , at a price they can afford , the wait time is too long , or perhaps they wish to have their medical services , and their recovery period away from prying eyes – often in the case of cosmetic surgeries.

In fact , the numbers bear up the increased popularity of “medical tourism”.  Recently Deloite – the international respected consulting firm came up with the conclusions that during the fiscal year of 2007 an estimated 750,000 Americans travelled abroad for medical care.  In fact the prevailing estimate that by the year of 2010  the number of American medical tourists may swell to 6 million patients.

Growth of Cosmetic Surgery – Medical Tourism

Posted on 30 August 2008 in Uncategorized by admin

 





      It is no secret to say that “Medical Tourism” has come to the attention of many in the tourism industry – both planners and government planers involved in tourism development and marketing.

 

       Especially when it comes to cosmetic surgery –  as opposed to critical or life saving medical surgery and procedures – then a planned tip abroad for cosmetic surgery affords -  a vacation , along with recuperative time away from home and prying eyes while the recovery progresses.

 

         The cost of the trip or vacation for ether the patient and / or their family members is often subsidized by the much lower cost of surgery than in dominant first world medical centers.

 

          On top of that when the patient returns home with their cosmetic surgery all that will appear is the charge card statements to be paid and remitted.
