Medical Tourism Helps Saving Money

Before mentioning about Medical Tourism, you should know what Medical Tourism is. Medical Tourism means usually the practice of searching health care in other countries. With this health care, several times of medical, dental, cosmetic surgery with countries having the same medical procedures are offered. In general, you will pay less for these procedures in comparison with the home country.

 

You may be wondering, “where on earth did this arise from?”. Weird right, but the concept of this procedure rose when people became more and more affected with the ongoing financial crises. People having no insurance claims may actually find it hard to have surgery in their home countries due to the cost. Thus, the patient looks for alternative ways to places to have the surgical procedure done. A wise person seeks for lower rates plus when adding the fare still sums up smaller.

 

More and more countries actually take advantage of this. More and more money are actually being spent to monetize the market of medical tourism all over the world. For instance, Asian countries doing well like Singapore are focusing on medical tourism more. There are more Asian countries targeting western countries due to the fact that it is really cheaper.

 

Tracing back history, this procedure is not actually a new thing. Looking back to the records, during the Greek civilization; most pilgrims would travel miles and miles to visit this very very small town in which we could say was the first medical tourism destination ever. On the other hand, during the eighteenth century people would travel to this mysterious place in England which is said to have had mysterious waters being able to heal various diseases. Up to now, these are all till mysterious yet to be solved.

 

Now I may figure the reason why you are reading this article. Its either you are interested on what is being talked about or you are in need of a medical procedure and cannot afford it. Indeed medical procedures are very expensive. With the concept of this medical tourism you may be able to save more money.

 

Aside from the fact that you are going to undergo a medical procedure in a foreign country you may at least enjoy the rest of your visa days till it expires. Why not go on vacation even for awhile. These are really good if your surgery is going to be done in tropical countries. You may be able to enjoy the cool and fresh winds of the beach.

 

The bottom line is, if you are going to undergo medical procedures why not consider the fact that medical tourism may be one of the alternatives you can go thru. It doesn’t just save you money it also gives you the pleasurable vacation you may always be wanting. Several medical tourism packages in china are also available and dental tourism India is also another way to go.

Purchase training today and we will give back to Toys for Tots!

On the 12th day of savings, MMI gave to me…money towards a charity!

MMI is proud to announce that we will be donating a portion of the proceeds from today’s training purchases (December 23) towards the “Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.” For every $ 100 spent, MMI will donate $ 10! 

Toys for Tots is a top rated charity

Did you know that Toys for Tots is a top rated charity? 97% of donations go to the mission of providing toys, books and other gifts to less fortunate children. The 3% spent on support principally covers fundraising expenses – not one donated dollar goes to pay for salaries or any other manpower costs.

The mission of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community in which the campaign is conducted. Most campaign sites are able to assist children up to age 12, but in many local communities, local support is such that the age limit may be extended to 14-16.
