Despite the pandemic and inflation, the medical tourism industry is booming. Here’s why.

Laser in Netherlands is 50% covered by health insurance.

In India mostly Medical Tourists come to Chennai, or Mumbai and get their treatments done and then relax for few days in Chennai itself or visit Goa and then leave all happy.

The disasterous Obamacare for one.

I got my lasik 6 years back of arround 500 dollars in 🇮🇳 india

In INDIA Surgery packages can be even low as 500$

India has one of the lowest and perfect private healthcare systems . They are low in cost with high quality 😃

I just went to Costa Rica for dental. Best care ever . Saved me 15k . I live on east coast so it was a easy flight. Costa 🇨🇷 Pura Vida!

Went to Mexico for dental implants.. Best decision I ever made 7200 bucks vs. 25K in the US.

Saw a video once on 85 parameters tests from MRI to lungs strenth and whatever one could imagine. It was just around 50$ in Bengaluru, India. That US citizen said, these tests would cost him 50k $ easily in the US. Noreover not in one day integrated under one roof. Issurance is apparently an issue there in the US!

I have done MRI for brain, cervical spine, lumbar including venogram, angiogram. It costed 25000 rupees which is around 300 dollars at a high quality top tier hospital. There are local scan centers as well other than hospitals which would have done this for 15 to 17k rupees.

After hearing from lot of my friends, India seem to have better easily accessible health care system and cost effective as well. One of my friend had stroke and waited for few hours before getting a bed in Ireland. But in other ways, India is still developing and it could take some more years to reach where western countries are there. But its not too far.

Sarah Aho? She kept that last name? LOL

medical tourism only exist because healthcare is unaffordable and low quality in their home country.

Be AWARE of the advertisement in the comments😂😂

Look into Taiwan when looking for medical tourism. Taiwan has great doctors with very affordable price.

Why such a long video to say this, our healthcare system is for profit, it sucks, and everywhere else is not cheaper, is affordable.

It took dermatologist in Korea less than 10 minutes to diagnose me but I’m my home country it took years. When I went back to my country, I told them what it was and what to prescribe me

Because is cheaper abroad and you have a choice to do it where it is cheaper

Nah-amerikkkan medical care is the definition of the wild west-unless you're rich

I'm a government employee with arguably a great benefits package and even then, I opt out of dental and vision and do that in Mexico. Cost of the whole procedure, nice hotel, plus flights is still less than the "deductible" here.

Welcome to South Korea folks! ❤

We need to get rid of the insurance companies and have patients pay the hospital/clinic directly. Win-win for everyone.

Honestly in the states is way to expensive to get treated. I break a leg here I go bankrupt if I get treated here...but if I go to another country I can pay for everything with what they would charge me here and that's having insurance Jesus

My cousin told they just charge too much and give unnecessary tests.
As much I see in India , doctor want to not see the patient again so they just give just the amount. They already have too many patients.
And I feel Indian doctors are better . Think this way already the are the top students , the fight for medical seat is real. Then after having millions of patients their skills must be top notch.
Even a kid can learn a skill perfectly if he does the same thing again and again .
Doctors just have all medication in memory . I guess the same reason they have given the same medicines million times.

Only thing that suck is the handwriting. But chemist can just understand them fine.😂

Healthcare is way too expensive in the US.

When they start giving you $1,000 bill just for sitting in the waiting room, the American health system is the problem.

In this docu Spain is also listed as highly regarded place for health tourism, could you make a docu about Spain too ?

Im sorry just stick with glasses. LASIK has a lot of side effects. One of my biggest regrets.

I was in India this year and hospitalized with dysentery. It cost me a whopping $300. It would have been 10 times that amount in the US. It is laughably absurd when people spout the great lie of America having the best healthcare in the world. Not by a long shot.

India also have many foreigners visiting for surgeries especially opthalmology

Went to Costa Rica for cosmetic surgery thirty years ago. The results and care were wonderful and I wouldn't have a second thought about doing it again. I may be to old today. But, the hospital out shined any hospital I've ever seen in the U.S. Care, food and results could not matched. Cost too was very reasonable. Very. Treated beautifully.

I go to Mexico to get glasses done

Private hospitals in most of Eastern Europe are also top class and cheaper then in Western Europe and USA. So not affordable for locals but great value
/money for the richer parts of the World

What pandemic??

well duh! it's cheaper and safe, that's why

My sister got her lasik back in our country about 7 years ago for around 1k. And the plan ticket around 1k5 for round trip. And u could have 200 bucks and eat like a king there lol

Every corporation including hospitals works hard to outsource everything.
Hospitals finds out people can outsource medical care.
The Hospitals in Asia that accept foreign patients have the state of art facilities. Many MD graduated from local top notch universities. Many even obtained medical degress in USA.
For many surgeries, its cheaper to fly first class, stay in hospital to get medical care, n travel around after surgeries.
Many conservatives still say nothing is wrong. Oh, this already way before Osamacare aka heritage foundation care

Try dental the damn thieves !

They do it because it's CHEAPER elsewhere. Period. 😮

well, like the capitalists in the USA have been saying for years - it's a one world economy. you have to be able to compete.

I know this YT Chris took the cost of trip and surgery off their taxes as a business expense. What was the cost of those roundtrip airline tickets or cost of driving to areas like Mexico? And the cost of staying in hotels and food?

Also, Romania for breast implants, and Turkey for hair transplant. I think Romania also does a fair volume of dental work, but prices have gone up like crazy, Bucharest really isn't "cheap" anymore. A LOT of breast implants in the country. I live there.

America is heaven for rich and hell for middle class.

USA medical bills out of control and long appointment delays by the months. The cost of medical care in USA you can use the money to fly and get care in foreign countries and pay for hotels and come back relaxed.

Went to India.. Best doctor and 5star hospital just 500 times less than America

India has best services with best docters !!!❤

This is not new. Been there done that.

Our greedy ass insurance, for and even non-profit hospitals should take note: Providing world class and affordable healthcare will yield massive profits, instead of gouging every cent out of their patients.

I live in the UK, and recently, due to stress and weakened immunity, I got angular cheilitis - painful cracks in corners of my mouth where bacteria and fungi started to multiply. I had it as a child, nothing serious. In Poland, my country of origin, I go to the pharmacy and get cream for it. That's it. Here - every single pharmacist argued its cold sore, and when finally one checked on internet what is it, I was told I need doctor appointment for that because there is nothing over counter I could buy. I went to the doctor, and the closest appointment is in a week! A week! I just wanted simple cream, so it will heal, and I finally can eat because now I can't open my mouth, and cracks are painful. In a week, it will probably heal itself... .

Asia is the best and dope!!:;)

I love my fiance the way she is.
She might not be the most beautiful women I've met but I will happily sacrifice millions of models just for her presence in my empty life.
For me inner qualities matter way more than outer looks.
