Here's another reason we need to improve American health care.
Modern technology with most recent medical equipment, top-rated world class physicians, unique caring and deep sympathy for patients and lower costing for medical treatments are some of the things which prompt people to choose South Korea as their medical tourism destination. Some of the world's best hospitals and stand alone speciality clinics are located in South Korea. One can easily feel the warmth of the hospitality in the form of timely care from expert nurses and doctors, instant facilities for all emergency cases without waiting too long and state-of-the-art facilities in South Korea. There is an additional benefit when you choose South Korea as your medical tourism place: once your treatment is over and you need relaxation for few more days, you can find some of the world's best spa retreat resorts and travel and tour destinations in South Korea.
The average charge for an in-patient visit in a US hospital is $3,762, which is 13 times higher than in South Korea. The average charge for outpatients in the US is $13,000 which is 9 times higher than in South Korea. South Korea's affordable health care system has seen the number of foreign patients rise from 10,000 to 13,000 in just 2 years. With all these added measures in place, South Korea is on its way to claim its share in the prosperous medical tourism and vacation business.
