Margaret had heard of less expensive dental care abroad. Through a friend, she learned about Escazú, Costa Rica, known for its excellent dental and cosmetic surgery clinics. Margaret got the same treatment in Costa Rica for $2,600. Her dentist was a U.S.-trained oral surgeon who used state-of-the-art instrumentation and top-quality materials. Add in airfare, lodging, meals, and other travel costs, and this savvy global patient still came out way ahead.
Doug S., a small-business owner from Wisconsin, journeyed with his wife, Anne, to Chennai, India, for a double hip resurfacing procedure that would have cost more than $55,000 in the U.S. The total bill, including travel for him and his wife, lodging, meals, and two-week recuperation in a five-star beach hotel, was $14,000. "We were treated like royalty," said Doug, "and I'm riding a bicycle for the first time in six years. We could not have afforded this operation in the US."

New Guide Showcases Malaysia’s World-Class Medical Tourism Facilities
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - (Business Wire) Healthy Travel Media and the Association of Private Hospitals of Malaysia (APHM) announce the launch of Patients Beyond Borders: Malaysia Edition, published in English for international distribution. Dato’ Sri Dr. Ng Yen Yen, Malaysia’s Minister of Tourism, will formally introduce the Malaysia Edition on 23 July at the APHM/ASQua/ISQua Conference and Exhibition 2009 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Produced in collaboration with Malaysia's Tourism Ministry and supported by hospitals and related organizations, the 240-page guidebook features 16 color pages and offers an in-depth overview of Malaysia’s 20+ international hospitals, selected health travel agents, recovery and guest accommodations, and area travel information.
“With some of the best healthcare in Asia, Malaysia receives visitors seeking medical procedures from more than 30 countries,” says Healthy Travel Media CEO Josef Woodman. “Malaysia’s superior medical services are within a six-hour flight of nearly two billion healthcare consumers.”
“Malaysia’s quality healthcare system ranks among the best in Asia,” says Dato’ Dr. Jacob Thomas, President of APHM. “Value-conscious patients impacted by the present economic climate will find costs here among the lowest of any international medical travel destination.”
Patients Beyond Borders: Malaysia Edition will be available in bookstores and at online retail channels worldwide.
