Get quality care at affordable price - The quality of services offered by international providers outside US is either same or better for similar procedures.
The cost is kept low because of various factors like low operations cost of facilities and direct relationship between doctors and patients.
It enables the facilities to provide services at least 1/10th cost of what is charged in the US.
A common perception exists among the citizens of advanced economies that the quality of services offered in every field in these countries is un-matched in the world.
It is also very obvious to expect quality to be directly proportional to the price of the service being offered.
In the increasing globalized world with respect to the interdependency of economies between advanced and developing countries this perception is gradually changing, which is clearly depicted by the outsourcing of white collar jobs earlier thought as totally not practical.
It is true that technology has played a vital role to enable this shift but the quality of services offered by the people in the developing countries is also a driving force.
Now when we talk about medical care things are not much different.
The doctors practicing at some of the top hospitals in international hospitals are trained in US and UK, and they bring in lot of experience and credibility to their practice.
The facilities offering these medical procedures are recognized by some of the top accreditation organizations like Join Commission International based out of US.
Some of the facilities offer very specialized procedures not offered anywhere else in North American for e.
g.
unique cancer treatment in Germany, prosthetics in India etc.
In the near future this trend is going to continue and will eventually become part of mainstream just like any other industry in the US.
