The Market Size Of Medical Tourism In Egypt
| Egypt has long been a magnet for tourists because of its monuments from ancient civilizations and the exotic and exciting aura. Of late, Egypt has emerged as a destination for medical tourism, especially for cosmetic surgery. |
Egypt offers high standards in cosmetic surgery and couple with low prices has made it a preferred medical tourism destination where people can combine medical treatment along with a cultural or seaside vacation.
The market size of medical tourism in Egypt is still small but the government has launched plans and actions that will boost the size of medical tourism by 2011. According to the Tourism Minister Zuheir Garana, by 2011 Egypt will welcome 14 million tourists out of which many will come for medical tourism and thus increasing the medical tourism earnings substantially.
Egypt is trying to attract private investors to fund medical tourism and wants the government to be just in planning and supervision roles. This might seem ambitious but it is quite possible as medical tourism globally is a $20 billion industry and is estimated to rise still further.
In the US, there are a number of specialized tour operators that offer medical tourism packages for Egypt. You can choose the doctor, hospital, treatment, recovery plan, consultation and club with a tour. If you need personal assistance, even that can be arranged and language poses no barriers as medical personnel speak excellent English. Medical tourism in Egypt is not just confined to invasive medical procedures. You can also go for therapeutic medical tourism and come back rejuvenated from the mineral and sulfur rich springs and healing black sands found in Safga. Besides, the wide array of clinics, hospitals offering world-class medical services, you can also seek treatment in resorts and spas.
