Taiwan
the Best Choice for Medical Tourism
In
today's world of globalization and the fast
progress of international aviation technologies
the lifestyle of people worldwide is rapidly
changing. Industries that historically have
had regional uniqueness and limitations have
now developed service models that contravene
with tradition. Medical tourism has developed
into one of these industries that has attracted
much attention.
|
The
advantages of advanced medical technologies
of international standards, reasonable fees,
excellent public hygiene environment and the
recent focus given by government polices have
prepared Taiwan to become the center of Medical
Tourism in the world and the best choice of
cross-country medical care for international
visitors.

|
Research
concludes that there is a cost difference
of two to eight times between the medical
charges in different countries for the same
item. Because of these large differences
in medical costs and the ease of travel
between countries in the world, medical
services with reasonable prices are no longer
be limited by borders and distance. Besides
the cost factor, the quality of medical
technologies and overall social environment
of a country are also the important factors
that people consider when making a choice
of location for medical care.

We
feel that Medical tourism in Taiwan is your best
choice.
Here
is some more information about why Taiwan is your
best choice for medical Tourism.
Why
Taiwan is worldwide acclaimed for its Critical
Care Medicine
Advanced
Technologies with Reasonable Prices
 |
Even
though Taiwan is equipped with world-class
medical technologies, the medical charges
are very low compared to other countries.
For example, the charge for assisted reproduction
in Taiwan is only one-tenth of that in the
US, and the surgery fee for liver transplant
is about one-sixth of that in the US. The
surgery fee for hip joint replacement is even
lower than those in Singapore, Malaysia and
Thailand, etc. Charges for other medical treatments
in Taiwan, such as laser eye surgery, health
examination, cancer screening, cosmetic surgery
and dental treatment are also considerably
competitive. |

by doubling the average out-of-pocket expenses
under national health insurance.

Ms. Yueh-Fen Huang ; The Feasibility of Developing
Medical Tourism in Taiwan
Mr.
Ming-Yen Wu, the Secretary-General of Taiwan Nongovernmental
Hospitals and Clinics Association said that in
addition to the advantages of technologies and
prices, Taiwan is very competitive for having
a complete medical system and patient-centered
medical teams. He took Taiwan being the second
in Worldwide Health Ranking of The Economist Intelligence
Unit (EIU) in UK as an example to show that Taiwan
has already reached the standards of advanced
countries regarding both medical and life quality,
and that Taiwan has the best environment for carrying
out medical tourism.
Taiwan
has already spread its medical services to the
rest of the world for some time through international
disaster relief and free consultation. At present,
there are a number of hospitals in Taiwan which
provide special medical services for international
visitors, such as Kuang Tien General Hospital.
