Medical tourism in Europe is growing year by year. Poland, together with Turkey and Hungary, is the top destination for people looking for dental treatment, orthopedic surgery, obesity treatments, plastic and aesthetic surgeries or hair loss treatment. Check 3 main reasons making Poland an ideal medical tourism destination.

Generally, the cost is a key factor for medical travel. People who need a certain treatment or surgery more and more often decide to go abroad just because they cannot afford it in their home country.

The example may be the most complex and costly dental treatment, namely All on 4 (a full mouth restoration). In the USA, the average price is 15 000$, while all on 4 Poland costs 7200$ on average. So, even after adding the additional expenses (that is travel, accommodation, food, etc.), it is more economic to get the treatment abroad. What is also interesting, Poland itself has noticed a growing number of medical tourists and has opened for foreign patients by offering all-inclusive packages and special discounts, guaranteeing English speaking doctors, offering the assistance during the stay in Poland and, most importantly, offering the highest quality of the treatment or surgery.

Polish private clinics and medical centres follow all the EU health care standards, use modern equipment and newest technology which allow them to offer minimally-invasive and highly effective treatments. Many plastic and orthopedic surgeons, dentists, and bariatric surgeons are world-class specialists with considerable expertise and experience. Their qualifications together with the clinics? top standard guarantee the effective, safe and highest-quality services. Regarding the relation between the quality and price, Poland is a leading country on a medical tourism market.
