South
Africa - South Africa has a well developed public and
private hospital system, with three, very competitive, private
hospital groups. South Africa has a long legacy of medical
innovation and world-beating healthcare. Europeans have been
traveling to South Africa for medical treatment for some time
now. Although the cost of medical treatment is not as price
competitive as many of the other popular medical tourism destinations,
the quality of treatment is world-class and available tourist's
attractions are astounding. While South African doctors have
been treating patients from around the world for decades,
the opportunities presented by catering for 'medical tourists'
is new. A number of medical tourism agencies have now opened
their doors and the focus is on all surgical and non-surgical
procedures. Many Americans are taking advantage of everything
South Africa has to offer in the plastic surgery world. They
leave for an exotic vacation, have the surgery, relax and
recover, and return home a completely new, rejuvenated person.
It really is the perfect solution for people who are either
embarrassed about having surgery or simply cannot afford it
