How many UK patients are going abroad for medical treatment?

Estimates

In 2009:

Around 60,000 UK patients travelled abroad in total. The breakdown was something like this:

25,800 dental patients (43%) 17,400 cosmetic surgery patients (29%)

16,800 for other surgery and treatments e.g. orthopaedic surgery, infertility treatment. (28%)

Source: projected from the Medical Tourism Survey 2008 conducted by European Research Specialists on behalf of Treatment Abroad. Survey data was obtained from 132 providers of overseas treatment and medical tourism services to UK patients.

International Passenger Survey

The International Passenger Survey is compiled from a sample of UK and overseas citizens leaving and arriving at UK ports and airports. Individuals are asked what the main reason for travel is. e.g. business, holiday, medical treatment.

However, the data needs to be interpreted with caution. The sample size is small when data on medical travel is analysed. So, there is significant margin for error.

Dental, IVF, Eye and Plastic treatments are fantastic with ME!
Good to see that Medicare Europe (A British company) decided to base its office for Europe in Kyiv, Ukraine. Ukraine has some of the very best private medical clinics in Europe
We all hope Medicare Europe the very best to succeed in Ukraine and to bring many medical tourists to Ukraine
