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.

Medical tourism is growing increasingly popular with adults and seniors today. This field of health and wellness tourism has exploded because of rising medical care costs for dental care, vision care, laboratory tests, medical treatments and procedures for a multitude of conditions such as COPD, diabetes, heart care and other issues that commonly afflict today’s baby boomer generation. Finding and affording such medical care is becoming increasingly difficult for seniors today, due in part because of the faltering economy, but most commonly because pensions, Social Security and retirement funds are unable to keep up with healthcare costs.

 

To date, India is one of the most popular destinations for medical tourists because of their wide range of high quality yet low-cost procedures. Highly trained physicians and many hospitals within India such as the Artemis Health Institute offer services such as cancer treatment, bariatric procedures, orthopedic knee surgery, obesity and weight loss care and ophthalmology specialists that may be bundled into package deals.

 

Singapore enjoys high-quality hospitals accredited by the JCI, such as the National Heart Center that offers cardiac care in angiography, heart valve surgery and other thoracic care. Thailand rivals India in quality and pricing structures and has long been known as the ultimate destination for world-class private healthcare facilities and highly trained surgical staff.

 

Facilities in Latin American countries are well known for being able to provide high quality dental work, and prices there are one third to one half lower than those found in the United States. Northern Europe, as well as Western European countries such as Hungary, Germany, and Poland. Today’s baby boomers want excellent and affordable health care. They’re crossing borders to meet their needs.

These days, because of the economy and rising health care costs, more baby boomers than ever before are going to be venturing beyond domestic borders to obtain healthcare as well as medical treatments in the field of orthopedics, such as hip replacements, hip resurfacing, knee surgeries as well as anti-aging and age management procedures and techniques in cosmetic and plastic surgery.

Baby boomers are considered to be those who were born between 1946 and 1964. By 2011, many baby boomers will be reaching the age of 65, and increasing the percentage of the US population that 65 or older. Today, the population of individuals over 65 is roughly 17%, but in just a few years, that figure rises to 26%. According to research data, there’ll be 75 million baby boomers who need affordable medical care by the year 2010. These individuals will become the future of healthcare and growing trends toward health and wellness tourism for this group of individuals is on the rise.

Baby boomers, for the most part, are health conscious, educated, and aware of the potential possibilities of international medical care and aren’t afraid to ask questions or perform research on who can perform the best surgical procedures or offer quality treatments for affordable costs. These days, boomers, more than any other age demographic are carefully watching their money, and no one wants to have to choose between health care in groceries.

Affordable heart surgery, cancer treatment abroad, cosmetic surgery abroad, and health tourism abroad in fields such as dental, vision, cardiac and stem cell treatments are in demand. Locations such as Argentina, India, Thailand, Latin America and central Europe are growing more popular by the year. Boomers know this, and are acting on it.

The baby boomers are going to literally change the face of medical care in the very near future as the demand for excellence, quality and state-of-the-art technology, techniques and procedures increases.
