Americans Choose Low-cost Medical Care Abroad

More Americans are turning to medical tourism as medical procedures are five to 20 times less expensive than in the U.S. By traveling abroad for complex medical procedures, Americans can save between five and 20 times the cost of having their operations on home soil.

This staggering figure, published by consultancy firm Social Technologies in a report “Medical Tourism: Cross-Border Care Grows”, demonstrates the rapid rise of medical tourism in the American market.

For reasons of cost, lack of health insurance, or merely to combine treatment with a once-in-a-lifetime vacation, Americans are opting to get their medical treatment abroad.
Be it cosmetic or elective surgery, dental work or even alternative therapies, Americans can make great savings by becoming medical tourists.
