The top 2 reasons why patients from the U.S. and Canada choose Medical Tourism as healthcare options are costs and wait times. Choosing Medical Tourism can save you as much as 80% in select treatments compared to U.S. prices and wait times are close to nonexistent compared to Canada. Even though costs are much lower in most medical tourism destinations, quality of care is comparable to top hospitals in the U.S.
HEALTHCARE COSTS ARE LOWER IN OUR MEDICAL TOURISM DESTINATIONS PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF:
Lower administrative costs
Lower cost of pharmaceuticals
Lower costs of medical supplies and equipment
Fewer malpractice lawsuits
