Why consider Spain for medical tourism?

In recent years Spain has become a popular choice for medical tourists, and this is mostly due to the affinity that British people have with Spain. Many British people have invested in Spanish property and own holiday homes by the coast so they can retreat to the privacy of their homes after having treatment. Also, Spain is very close to home - just a short-haul flight from the UK – so along with the arrival of high quality clinics Spain is a very popular medical tourism destination.

Spain’s multi-lingual private hospitals offer high levels of medical care and good savings can be made for cosmetic surgery and cosmetic dentistry. The typical cost for rhinoplasty (nose re-shaping) in a private UK hospital would be between £3,500 and £4,000, while in Spain this would be £2,400. Equally, a facelift in a UK private hospital would cost between £4,300 and £10,000, but in Spain the same would cost around £3,500-6000.

There are plenty of other reasons to choose Spain as a medical tourist desination; firstly, there is an abundance of low cost airlines flying from the UK (with flights from as little as £29.99 one way) and the journey time is very short (around two and a half hours). Secondly, due to the large expat population there are plenty of English speaking facilities so communication isn’t a problem. Thirdly, many of the surgeries and clinics are located in some of Spain’s sunniest locations so that patients can benefit from a warm and soothing environment for a relaxing recovery break after their surgery, such as in the sandy and exclusive resorts of Marbella, Torremolinos and Fuengirola in the sunny Costa del Sol returning home feeling well, rested and healthy.

And with top class surgeons (who spend many years in training) and excellent clinics there is no need to fly to the other side of the world for good quality value surgery.
