IUI, also known as intrauterine insemination is a popular and effective fertility treatment for millions of women around the world. While a variety of factors need to be considered before a woman undergoes artificial insemination techniques, including age and reason for infertility (if it can be determined), intrauterine insemination is an ideal solution for women who can still ovulate but may be dealing with male factor infertility, early menopause, or tubal blockage or damage.

Any woman or couple unable to conceive a child after two years of trying is an excellent candidate for the minimally invasive intrauterine insemination procedure. Couples dealing with fallopian tube blockages, low sperm counts, low quality sperm counts or other medical conditions that prevent conception will benefit from an attempt to artificially inseminate male sperm into the uterus.

Women or couples seeking treatment and medical destinations such as Turkey may save hundreds of dollars on the procedure, while travelers to Latin American destinations such as Mexico and Argentina may save up to 70% of treatment and drug costs. Such savings are not due to lack of quality, technology, or training, but reflect lower medical malpractice insurance premiums, different healthcare systems and management practices in foreign countries.

Fertility Argentina, located in Buenos Aires and Cedyt, located in Bariloche are examples of two patient focused and high-tech fertility treatment centers in Argentina.  Jinemed Hospital, located in Istanbul, Turkey, has nearly 20 years of infertility treatment experience, and Acibadem Healthcare Group, also located in Istanbul, is a JCI accredited private healthcare facility.

In recent years, Barbados has become one of the most popular medical tourism destinations for international travelers from the United States, South America, South Africa and Europe. State-of-the-art treatments in fertility and infertility, cardiology, cosmetic and plastic surgical procedures, and dental and cosmetic dental medicine has drawn thousands of travelers to her sandy beaches and world-class medical facilities. A multitude of medical facilities, clinics and hospitals in Barbados are accredited by the JCI International, a U.S. health accreditation body.

Medical tourism is growing around the world, and it is estimated that nearly 800,000,000 patients will travel beyond borders in 2010 for medical and health care, a great number of them to Barbados. Medical spas and health and wellness tourism has hit it big in Barbados and travel executives in the Caribbean recently joined together to promote medical tourism and global health for Americans and Europeans.

PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal based in Colorado, knows that competition for medical care is rising, as will the demand for orthopedic surgeries such as hip joint replacement as well as diagnostic medicine and dental care needed by growing numbers of Baby Boomers. Cost of medical care in Barbados will be similar to that found in Latin American countries such as Costa Rica.

With the debate over health care reform and rising health care costs raging in the United States, more Americans will seek medical care abroad. What better than to schedule treatment in a vacation location? Barbados, a jewel of the Caribbean, meets that criteria, and will offer its medical facilities and treatment centers to the growing list of global health and wellness providers in coming years. PlacidWay is dedicated to providing relevant and timely resources for the health and wellness industry for travelers around the world.
