Frequently Asked Questions
What is medical tourism and how does it work?
Medical tourism refers to traveling to another country to receive medical treatment. This practice combines healthcare with travel, often allowing patients to access high-quality medical care at more affordable prices than in their home country, with savings typically ranging from 30-80%.
Is medical tourism safe and how do I choose the right hospital?
Medical tourism can be very safe when you choose accredited hospitals with international certifications like JCI (Joint Commission International). Aframedico only partners with verified, high-quality healthcare facilities that meet strict international standards and have experienced doctors with international training.
How much money can I save with medical tourism?
Patients typically save between 30-80% on medical procedures compared to costs in the United States, Canada, or Western Europe. For example, a heart surgery costing $100,000 in the US might cost $20,000-$30,000 in countries like India or Thailand, including travel and accommodation costs.
Which countries are the best destinations for medical tourism?
Top medical tourism destinations include Thailand, India, Mexico, Turkey, Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, and Costa Rica. Each country has different specialties - Thailand for cosmetic surgery, India for cardiac care, Turkey for hair transplants, Mexico for dental work, and Singapore for advanced cancer treatments.
What should I consider when planning my medical tourism journey?
Consider the total cost including travel and accommodation, recovery time needed, language barriers, follow-up care requirements, travel insurance coverage, hospital accreditation status, and visa requirements. Planning 2-8 weeks in advance is recommended depending on procedure complexity.
What role does Aframedico play in my medical tourism experience?
Aframedico connects patients with pre-screened, accredited hospitals worldwide. We provide cost comparisons, coordinate travel arrangements, offer patient support throughout the journey, ensure quality care standards are met, and help with follow-up care coordination with your home healthcare providers.
Can I arrange my flights and accommodation through AfraMedico?
Some of our treatment packages already include accommodation, and your care coordinator will confirm exactly what yours covers. Where travel is not included, we prepare a personalised itinerary built around your treatment, from arrival and procedure dates to recovery time and follow-up visits. You can then book flights and hotels that match that itinerary through our trusted travel partners, Expedia and Hotels.com, in just a few clicks.
When should I book my flights and hotel?
Book once your hospital has confirmed your treatment date. Your itinerary shows when to arrive and how long to stay for a comfortable recovery. Where possible, choose flexible or refundable fares and rooms, so your plans can adapt if your medical team adjusts the schedule.
