Jaunted

Given that you've never been to Ghana, I feel confident in saying that your info is somewhat skewed. I lived in Ghana for over two years, and while Ghanaians do go to the West for medical training, they rarely come back working for high end clinics. In reality, there are very few of those clinics and they cater to the wealthier Ghanaians. Western expats have their own doctors through their embassies for the most part. While botox and plastic surgery, among other first world luxuries, are possibly available there, I've never heard of them advertised and Ghana certainly is by no means a destination for the Western elite looking for bargain basement medical care. The majority of Ghanaian doctors work with their own people in small clinics and hospitals across the country, accessible to most because Ghana has a national insurance scheme that provides better insurance for them than even America has. They are dedicated to helping their own kind. Medical tourism is flourishing in Ghana because the country is embracing modern medical care and is trying to become a beacon for Africa in terms of development. Before you start commenting so heavily on a country you've never been to, perhaps you should visit. High end medical care or not, it's still my favorite place on earth and full of the most wonderful people.

Medical tourism has spawned businesses that get, qualify and publish data on the best international hospitals. A set of specialized travel agencies even help patients do all the work of setting up hospitals, travel and after-care treatment. Stumbling upon the internet I came across CareDestinations.com site which committed to finding the facility, physician and destination that serves as an medical tourism companies and offers safety and appropriate patient rights to ensure a complete and safe procedure abroad. If I can save up to 70-85% on costs for my cosmetic surgery with excellence in healthcare, a considerable surgery cost savings, no surgery wait-time, and choose a doctor that had been trained in U.S.
