Costa Rica Medical Tourism at your service

Big Growth in Medical Tourism

Doctor

The Costa Rica medical tourism market is growing at a fast speed. More and more international tourists are coming to Costa Rica with a double purpose, undergoing a medical procedure and visiting a foreign country via tours of Costa Rica. The historically known medical tourism has taken a turn and focused more on the tourism part than the medical part, both still equally important. People used to travel to developed countries to undergo procedures that were not available in their nations, now it seems to be all the way around.

Nowadays it is getting more common to see US, Canadian and European citizens traveling to be part of Costa Rica’s current trend in medical tourism. Attracted by the low cost, short wait times, travel convenience and hotels specialized in patient recovery. The procedures can be diverse like having dental work done, ambulatory treatments or more specialized surgeries that might require hospital stay and follow ups from the specialist.

Excellent Care from US Certified Medical Practitioners

Many practitioners and health care providers have trained in the best medical schools in the US. The medical tourism in Costa Rica has facilities with the highest quality along with the excellent service from the medical staff. Travel agents can help any interested parties with sourcing some of the top hospitals and clinics offering these kinds of services.

Some of these medical procedures can be very expensive in the patient’s home country and not to mention the chance of long waiting times. Also some surgeries may not be covered entirely by their insurance or by not having insurance at all, the patient’s budget might not be enough to pay for the operation. In such cases the Costa Rica medical tourism option might be a more affordable way of having the same type of treatment from expert hands at a lower cost, sometimes including the travel expenses and activities in Costa Rica.

The Costa Rican doctors who work on the top-notch hospitals specialized in receiving foreign visitors are required to have the best education and ethical ground. Most have done their specialty in recognized US medical schools.

As the patient it is normal to worry and be curious about your doctor’s qualifications, along with those of the medical staff and clinic or hospital.

You won’t have to learn Spanish

Costa Rica has given high importance to the teaching and learning of English, therefore since a very young age, these professionals are exposed to this language. For those studying in North American countries it is a requirement to have a good level of English to apply.

The clinic and hospitals that promote the Costa Rica medical tourism make sure to comply with the highest medical standards of operations which is why that all are assured to be accredited by one or more international organizations. Walking into one of these facilities, is walking to hospitals and clinics designed to promote the best health practices with the finest equipment and furnishing.

A Final Word on Medical Tourism in Costa Rica

Costa Rica medical tourism is guaranteed to have the best and highest quality of service and reliability. Depending on the medical procedure the patient (medical tourist) might end up saving money, all including airline tickets, hotel room and food.

Medical tourists should not be fooled by relating the low cost to low quality, a patient could pay a large difference for having the same excellent quality procedure in their home land or abroad. The closeness of this country make its flights comparable to domestic traveling. The Costa Rica medical tourism is excellence-centered, fast and affordable, plus you get to visit an enchanting destination full of a biodiversity that seems out of this world.
