Medical Tourism Packages

Medical tourism is travelling outside of one’s area of residence to another area, with the primary objective of receiving medical services. With the advancement of healthcare, people are no longer only travelling to access lifesaving treatment. They are now also choosing to travel to other countries in order to access wellness and cosmetic treatments. This is due to these treatments being too expensive in their country or not available. Some residents of the larger cities such as New York, Frankfurt and Berlin all choose South Africa as their preferred Medical Tourism destination. 

People choose to travel in search of international medical treatment for reasons such as:

• Poor domestic healthcare infrastructure.
• An Expensive healthcare sector
• Long waiting times for approval of medical procedures.
• Specific medical and cosmetic treatments not being available.
• The desire to experience another destination while they recover from their treatment.
