It is generally accepted that treatment and diagnosis abroad is an expensive pleasure. In some cases this is true, and in others such a trip will not only save time and money, but also get high-quality medical care in leading clinics of the world.
Finding and organizing quality medical care in the world, as well as saving a budget, help Internet services for the search and organization of treatment.
Modern Internet services are the most popular alternative to the traditional way of organizing such trips “through intermediaries”, since intermediaries do not always work in good faith and transparently, often do not provide estimates directly from clinics and “charge” the cost of services.
In our selection today we will describe Top 5 best world sites for searching and organizing treatment abroad. Some of these clinics are aggregators of clinics, some work only in certain regions, some around the world and provide additional services.
5. Medical Departures
Singapore online search and treatment service provider in Asia. The service is young, attendance is still about 30,000 visitors a month, the main customers are Americans and residents of Southeast Asia. Recently, the company received an investment of $ 2.5 million from the Singapore DMP venture fund and plans to continue the active development of the project in SEA and Latin America.
There is no Russian version of the site yet, so the service is suitable for those who speak English, Spanish or Thai, as well as for those who plan to find a clinic and undergo treatment in Asia.
4. TreatmentAbroad
A service aggregator has existed for about 10 years, and despite this, the resource attendance is small - only about 64,000 visitors per month.
