With many Americans struggling to find affordable health
care, recent years have seen a boost in the medical tourism industry. Regions
such as Argentina, Dubai, Singapore, and especially Thailand, are all
prospering from this profitable source of new business.
Although medical tourism is not a new concept, its growing popularity is fairly new. According to the Medical Tourism Association and Deloitte Center for Health Solutions, as many as 1.6 million Americans will travel this year for medical needs- spending billions of dollars in the process. Compare that to 2007, where only an estimated 750,000 Americans traveled abroad for medical care. This trend is gaining a lot of momentum and the number of Americans traveling abroad for medical care should continue to rise.
One of the most important and popular destinations for
medical tourism is Thailand. First class hospitals, high class medical
technology, topnotch physicians, significantly lower treatment costs, and some
of the most beautiful beaches in the world have driven Thailand to the
forefront of international medical tourism. You can find a wide range of
treatments, including: dental work, cosmetic surgery, Lasik, and bypass
operations to name a few, all at a fraction of the cost as the same procedure here
in the U.S. Over 1 million international medical tourists are expected to
travel to the Land of Smiles next year for their medical needs.
Here at POTHOS, we have made it our business to provide
medical tourists with a stress-free and cost saving medical trip to Thailand.
