Medical Tourism is the practice of traveling across international borders to access high-quality healthcare that is more affordable, more specialized, or more immediate than what is available in a patient’s home country.
At MyHospitalNow (MHN), we specialize in “Bringing Hospitals Closer to You.” Our Medical Tourism Portal is designed to eliminate the stress of international travel for surgery, providing a seamless bridge between patients and world-class medical facilities in hubs like India, Turkey, and Thailand.
This guide outlines the core pillars of the MHN medical tourism experience and how you can plan your journey from initial consultation to final recovery.
1. Why Choose Medical Tourism? A Story of Access
Meet Sarah, a patient from the UK facing a long wait for a complex spinal surgery. Through the MyHospitalNow Medical Tourism program, she was connected with a JCI-accredited hospital in Delhi, India.
Within two weeks, Sarah was treated by a surgeon with over 20 years of experience using the latest robotic technology. The cost—including business-class travel and a dedicated recovery concierge—was 50% less than private treatment in the UK. Sarah’s story is typical of the modern medical tourist: choosing global expertise to regain health without the wait or the financial burden.
