Medical Tourism In Thailand Does Not Offer “Cut-Price” Surgery

The highest surgical fees by the top plastic surgeons, brain surgeon, orthopedic surgeon, general surgeon or any other physicians & surgeons in Thailand are drastically lower than in Europe, Australia or the USA and the health care and hygiene standards are high.
Fee variation in Thailand is often due to differences in overhead, facility size, profit margin, patient volume and the fame of the doctor or hospital, not because one provides inferior health care or has a lower standard of cleanliness or offers “cut-price” surgery.
The Irwin Mitchell UK law firm has a story about going abroad for “cut-price” surgery. Notice the news headline in the column on the right: “SuperBugs in (UK) Care Homes Considered Less of a Priority”. It explains that the UK Government’s “targets to reduce superbug infections remain focused on hospitals” while the lawyer complained “the rate of (UK) healthcare acquired infection in care homes is still increasing”.
