The basics

Medical Surgical vacations provide a mix of leisure, fun and relaxation along with the health care. This gives clients the opportunity to get away from their daily routine and aids recuperation when it is most needed at an affordable cost. The idea of this kind of tourism isn’t new in fact it’s thousands of years old. In Roman Britain patients would come to the waters at a shrine in Bath and the practice continued for 2000 years into Georgian England times. Hospitals overseas are clean and well staffed and often the physicians are trained in the US or another western nation.

Options for beginners

There are plenty of health treatments of the wellness kind, like a spa treatment in Budapest or a bath visit to Japan or Korea that are more for those needing a break from the stresses of work or simply needing a pampered vacation. If you are having some minor health problems such as sleeplessness or are recovering from illness, this might be a good option.

There are also location choices that clients might find more comfortable. For example you may prefer cosmetic treatment on Rodeo Drive in California or a dental treatment in Hungary before going to India for open-heart surgery or Thailand for liposuction.

Options for advanced

If you’re open to it, let the medical treatment you need determine where you have to go. India, Thailand and Singapore offer similar dental treatments as Hungary if you need a filling, extraction or root canal. Or you could go to Brazil for plastic surgery. Many people are also combining major surgery with a vacation. For example in South Africa they actually market surgery followed by a wildlife safari.
