Hopefully, no one will ever have to think about medical tourism, however, it's important to know that it exists if you are uninsured, or are under-insured. Medicine, surgeries, etc. has become so expensive in USA and Europe that the only choice left might be to travel abroad and have that same surgery for a fraction of the cost.
To find the best place for your needs, type in the condition, and the words cost and medical tourism into Google.
e.g. - "heart valve replacement medical tourism cost" - With this search, I find out that in the US this surgery could cost up to $200,000, while in India it seems to cost around $10,000.
I can't suggest which company you should use, as medicine is so personal. However, if you read the articles online, you can find out that the medicine and results in many of the cheaper places compare to that of the western world. Therefore, it's something that's good to know about even if you do not need the services right away.
I really enjoyed reading your Blog and I found useful information here. Tourism’s meaning in the context of ‘Medical Tourism’ should be taken as ‘business of providing services to tourists’. Hospitals abroad just provide medical services to the medical tourists.
