  2. 0333 370 3701 info@singleparentsonholiday.co.uk Medical tourism or going overseas for medical or cosmetic treatment is continuing to be a growing industry. Patients book flights to countries for various medical procedures ranging from cosmetic surgery and dental work to orthopaedic procedures at affordable rates. The temptation of cheaper treatment or skipping long waiting lists back home is great, especially when you are desperate to treat an ailment or fix a cosmetic flaw. And when you can improve your health or looks, whilst taking in beautiful sights in a foreign destination, what’s not to like? As exciting as it might sound to combine your healthcare needs with a relaxing solo holiday, protecting your wellbeing must be your main priority. For this reason, it is vital to consider all risks and options before going abroad for treatment. Find out what you need to know before booking a medical tourism trip:

  3. 0333 370 3701 info@singleparentsonholiday.co.uk 10 things to keep in mind when seeking treatment abroad: 1. Quality of healthcare Not every nation has the same standards in healthcare as the UK’s NHS, private hospitals, and clinics. Some countries may have less stringent licensing and accreditation requirements. Also, poorer countries may use outdated or lower-quality medical devices or prescribe counterfeit medicines. You also need to bear in mind that communication with doctors, nurses, and medical support staff might prove an issue in a foreign country. If a practitioner doesn’t speak English as their first language, it may lead to misunderstandings. Equally, you might struggle to express when you have a problem before or after a procedure.

Complications can happen in any medical procedure, but the danger to your health will be higher if your chosen facility has low healthcare standards and poor infection control. It is vital to learn as much as possible about a destination and clinic to reduce your risk of complications. For example, you might have a greater likelihood of contracting an infectious disease or infection, such as:  hepatitis B  hepatitis C  HIV  donor-derived infection  bloodstream infection  wound infection
