Why choose Israel for Health Tourism?
Cost advantage is the primary factor that contributes to the popularity of medical tourism in Israel. Americans, who find it difficult to avail specialized treatments in the US, can easily opt for medical tourism in Israel. Advanced surgeries in the US would cost about 10 to15 times more than what it does in Israel.
For example, in the US, if you do not have insurance, a bypass surgery would cost you approximately $120,000. In Israel, the whole medical procedure including airfare, accommodation and food charges for your entire family would cost you approximately only $35,000. Opting for in-vitro fertilization in the US would cost you something between $16,000 and $20,000. The same procedure costs $3,500 in Israel.
Lower costs are not the only reason for the increasing popularity of Israel as a preferred destination for medical tourism. Besides lower costs, the high quality of medical services from highly qualified and experienced doctors, advanced hospital facilities and related services and facilities, and the personal touch in the care, are important factors that promote medical tourism in Israel.
