If you have health problems or appearance and a certain amount of money, which is not a pity to spend on themselves, or is the question of life and death, there is a question - where to get the highest quality medical services for this amount?
The answer often leads us to Medical Tourism - An industry that is now booming worldwide. If you regularly travel from Moscow to Tula, to cure or to insert human teeth for the money, and realize that it is more profitable, even taking into account the costs of transport and accommodation, you understand why.
According to forecasts, in 2010 treatment abroad go around. 40 million people, and the volume of this market in 2012 will grow to 100 billion. dollars. The most notable players in the field Medical Tourism - The United States and Europe - are taking the quality of medical care. Turkey, Mexico, India - play on dumping, offering treatment of disease, organ transplants and plastic surgery for less money.
The new point of attraction on the map of health - South Korea - Popped up on the Russian market of medical services a year ago. It was then that the authorities have adopted a number of laws designed to attract the mass consumer medical advances, created a support center Medical Tourism at the Seoul City Hall and a number of tourist programs similar to, for example, the program "Trip to Seoul for beauty", which has long worked between Korea and Japan.
May 21 in the framework of the National Korean exhibition in Moscow held a seminar on medical tourism in Korea, which was attended by representatives of five of the fifty hospitals in Seoul, entitled to treat foreign patients. Competing with 14 other Korean hospitals thousands - of applicants for this right - can serve as a guarantee that it is - the best of the best medical institutions in the country.
A feature medturizma to South Korea can be considered a combination of high technology, the level of which habitually refers to the concept of homeland companies Samsung and Hyundai (which have, incidentally, subordinated hospitals - they top the list of partner clinics program medturizma) - and low prices make up about 30% of the price US and 67% of the price in Japan. This is comparable to the prices in Thailand and Singapore - countries that have already established themselves as centers Medical Tourism in Asia .
The reason for such a price that the medicine in South Korea bred out of business and certainly not be a highly lucrative industry.
At present, the priority is considered to be five fields: diagnostics (for a few hours, without going outside the hospital, you can take up to 90 tests and get the results the same day), plastic surgery, dentistry, Dermatology and traditional Oriental medicine.
The latest technology (for example, the machine Da Vinci, gamma knife, MRI, CT, PET recent modifications) to quickly and accurately diagnose, make a unique operation, to achieve high survival rates for cancer, and the highest performing qualifications of medical staff, lack of queues and features of the rehabilitation period in exquisite interiors clinics make the treatment process comparable with the period of rest and relaxation.
Especially interested clients of plastic surgeons South Korea: along with a complete list of conventional plastic surgery Korean doctors have got the hand on rhinoplasty and face lift with the help of autoimmune cells from adipose tissue of the buttocks or abdomen of the client.
And girls who dream of slender legs are interested in the ability to change the shape and volume of the tibia without excision of bone!
Each hospital has its own website in several languages (including Russian) and holds the state of interpreters to eliminate the language barrier between doctor and patient. In Russia, the number of tour operators are already and medical agents to help find a clinic and doctor for treatment in South Korea those who need it.
While the proportion of foreign patients in Korea, Japan and the United States prevailed over medturistami from Russia (60 thousand in 2009 against 1700), but the policy of most favored nation (such as the right of visa-free stay in the country up to six years) leading to a rapid increase in the flow of tourists from Russia.
However, while more from Vladivostok to Seoul from 2:00 fly. But experts predict a quick periorientatsiyu patients and in central Russia and in the metropolitan area.
