Health Tourism in
Panama
Health tourism, or
medical tourism, has
become a global economy
all to itself. As
medical costs in the US,
Canada and Europe have
soared, people have
looked to other
countries to provide
high quality, affordable
medical solutions.
Panama has stepped to
the forefront of this
health tourism trend
with American-trained,
English-speaking
doctors, professional
staff and world-class
facilities such as
Hospital Punta Pacifica.
We are able to combine
first-class, affordable
medical care with a
truly remarkable
vacation experience
Surgical Travels ALWAYS provides personalized follow-up care…
that’s what sets us apart from the others. It might make us a little
more expensive, but we believe that visiting patients several times a day after surgery
to review progress and addressing any concerns is of upmost importance.
Every patient of GSN is given a cell phone, and a 24-7 on call nurse.
