That’s the title of a story on medical tourism over at news.com.au. Funny thing is, the entire story is a glowing account of medical tourism in Thailand, Singapore and India - no warts. It’s another good snapshot of the state of medical tourism and the preeminent position of hospitals like Thailand’s Bumrungrand International in this industry. They have a few good up-to-date data points as well, such as the cost of an elective coronary artery bypass operation that would typically cost $70,000 is about one-quarter of that fee at Bumrungrad, and the number of international patients Bumrungrad treated last year which tallied 435,000. The article also has a good summary of the top international hospitals in Singapore and India.
