Mexico vs the rest
of the world in Medical Tourism:
Using US
costs across a variety of specialties and procedures an average range of
savings for the most-traveled destinations are as follows:
- Brazil: 25-40%
- Costa Rica: 40-65%
- India: 65-90%
- Korea: 30-45%
- Malaysia: 65-80%
- Mexico: 40-65%
- Singapore: 30-45%
- Taiwan: 40-55%
- Thailand: 50-70%
- Turkey: 50-65%
According to these percentages we can assure that it
is cheaper to have a medical treatment done outside of the United States, but
we also have to keep in mind the flying costs to other countries and the
difference between those countries is that it´s 50% cheaper to fly to Mexico than
to any other country.
For example in Malaysia you can get up to 80% less on
the cost of a medical treatment, but the cost of the flight is more than the
double price towards a flight to Mexico, you have to keep in mind that the
destinations and the discounts are fabulous but before jumping to any
conclusion you should add up the cost of everything that involves a medical
trip (flights, surgery, accommodation, transportation, recovery).
