Medical Tourism: What Are The Benefits?

Today a medical complaint can also be an ideal reason to travel elsewhere where a cheaper or better healthcare is provided, together with a good touristic infrastructure. Often the lower costs and shorter waiting lists are a motivation to search for treatments abroad with a high medical level of care.

It shows that medical tourism is increasing. 31% of participants in a recent consumer research worldwide state that they are interested in medical tourism. Medical tourism is usually used for aesthetical and orthopedic surgery, or dental treatments. These treatments are an option for those who look for a combination of cheaper, and at certain areas better, medical treatments and a high quality of touristic services. Tourmedical in Kusadasi, specialized in aesthetical dental treatments, is a perfect example.

Unfortunately there are also a lot skeptical reactions in the West, especially from the medical side. Many doctors or dentists have the prejudice that medical treatments are of high quality only in Western Europe. And thus less as elsewhere. That is however far from the truth. Some specialisms are even better developed abroad. Take Turkey for example. Optometric and dental treatments are of high quality and most modern techniques are being used. The Turkish eye specialists and dentists perform many cases of certain procedures, and become more and more specialized in that area. And doing so, become better and better in their discipline.

The skeptical reactions of for example your own dentist may be due to their own prejudice, their fear for the unknown, of even the protection of their own practice. However, globalization and disappearance of geographic borders can’t be stopped. Especially not when one is searching for the best service and for the best price.

Therefore it is of utmost importance that you, being a potential patient, do your research. Look into the websites. Read the explanation of the methods being used. Contact personally, by e-mail or phone. Get yourself well informed. Be assertive in what you want and what you look for. And most importantly: pay attention to your own standard of quality!
