Medical Travel is More Than Just Dentistry and Cosmetic Surgery – Affordable General Surgery in Monterrey, Mexico
Monterrey, Mexico, October 16th, 2009
Both the short time to come up with the money, and the very high cost of medical treatment, bring a huge conflict between illnesses and uninsured citizens. This growing part of the population faces a choice between giving up life or economic wellbeing for their loved ones. More and more, Americans are discovering what so far only residents close to the border with Mexico have been doing. Medical Travel is not only for dentistry and cosmetic surgery.
As an up-and-coming Medical Travel destination, Monterrey, Mexico boasts internationally accredited hospitals and US-trained doctors used to treating Texan patients from everything between a cosmetic surgery to a heart valve replacement. As Heather Wicklow, Manager at Travel for Care, the leading local medical travel facilitator states “Being a Californian myself, I am amazed everyday by the top quality that the private healthcare system in Monterrey has reached. I easily see health travel becoming one the most influential industries in the country very soon.”
Health Travel, or Medical Travel, as it is also known, has expanded its outreach with time from covering merely elective fields to more specialized, non-elective areas like cardiovascular and orthopedic surgery. But there are hundreds of thousands of uninsured Americans requiring certain procedures each year, which don’t necessarily fall under those categories. “Within all non-elective surgeries, my colleagues and I have broad experience in fields which people rarely think of, but which make up a huge proportion of inpatient procedures. Monterrey offers Americans the possibility to come for top quality and inexpensive General Surgery at the hands of specialists.” says Dr. Arturo Aranda, MD, who is a US and Mexico board-certified pediatric surgeon. In fact, any surgery that can be planned ahead of time, including Hernia Removals, Gallbladder Removals, Hysterectomies, Lipomas, and others, is a candidate for a quick trip south of the border.
With the combination of award-winning hospitals like Hospital San Jose TEC, top surgeons, and medical travel firms to facilitate and streamline the process, medical tourists have it simple and easy to come and reach out for the best value in healthcare. With prices for surgeries like a Hernia Removal or a Hysterectomy for less than $3,000, and a Laparoscopic Gallbladder Removal for under $3,200, a city which not many Americans know about today, is on track to provide one of the solutions sought by everyone debating this issue.
Hospital San José TEC de Monterrey is one of Monterrey's best regarded healthcare institutions, accredited by the Joint Commission International, and part of the Monterrey TEC, Mexico's largest private education system. For more information, please visit www.hsj.com.mx
