Why Thailand?

• Cost saving
• The cost of medical treatments in Thailand is
  significantly lower compared to identical
  treatments in the developed world. In fact,
  treatments in Thailand are typically far less
  expensive than elsewhere in the world.
• In comparison to the US 130,000 cost of a heart
  bypass in the United States, the procedure can be
  performed by skilled and qualified doctors at a
  Thai hospital for only US 11,000.
• No waiting lists
• Appointments for treatment can be arranged.
  There are enough qualified surgeons that there is
  little, if any, waiting for scheduling even the
  most complex and invasive procedures.
