MEDICAL TOURISM TO SOUTH AFRICA
South Africa's big game or unspoiled scenery is not the only reason why more and more foreign tourists are coming to South Africa. Medical Tourism has become big business, with foreign nationals coming to South Africa for a little nip and tuck at the country's renown private hospitals, with safari on the side.
Medical tourism is a term initially introduced by travel agencies and the mass media to describe to the rapidly-growing practice of traveling to another country to obtain health care, especially those who want to have plastic surgery abroad. When this takes place to countires like South Africa, the term Scalpel Safari's is also used.
Prospective medical tourists travell the 12 hours from London to undergo a tummy tuck, a nose jobs or eyelid surgery at a private Johannesburg clinic, at a cost that is a fraction of the cost in the UK.
These tourists settled for South Africa because they love the rates and the recuperation deal offered to them. They admit that they would pay more in their home country and as a bonus get a chance to see the South Africa while recovering.
Tour operators say luxury retreats in the popular Cape winelands, safari hide-outs in the Kruger National Park region and secluded coastal resorts are favourite recuperation spots among foreign patients. The long holiday lets them recover in seclusion, returning home only once the bandages are off.
Medical safaris are a growing phenomenon, thanks to South Afric's private hospitals that offer quality services that are on par with other hospitals in Europe.
Lorraine Melvill, founder and owner of Surgeon and Safari in Johannesburg admits that South Africa's reputation for affordable, specialised medical care has steadily risen since the mid-1990s.
The handful of medical tourism companies operating are reporting an increased market share from both overseas and domestic patients.
According to Melvill, the patients receive extensive consultations before making the trip, and their price tag includes flights, visas and accommodation as well as the hospital fees. A lot of European medical tourists choose five-star luxury lodges where they can have game drives and enjoy the African sun while recovering.
South Africa is now competing with other emerging economies like India, Malaysia, Brazil, Thailand and Costa Rica, which are already major players in medical tourism. Although South Africa is a long-haul destination and is facing stiff competition from other countries which are closer to Europe, our medical service and our package deals make it worthwhile.
Medical tourism is becoming an important cottage industry for South Africa, drawing in patients from other parts of the continent that lack quality medical facilities.
Doctor Tshepo Maaka, founder of Serokolo Health Tourism, quit her full-time medicine practice five years ago to tap into the demand for medical safaris.
Maaka said the company receives an average of 20 inquiries a day, with most of his patients coming from Germany, Canada, the Netherlands and Australia. Her seven-day packages offer a selection of two surgical procedures such as lip enhancements, tummy tucks, eyelid surgery, facial laser resurfacing or liposuction atvery competitive prices.
Having your surgery done in South Africa is like killing two birds with one stone, since you lose the flab and experience one of the most awesome safari escapedes in the world.
Serokolo Health Tourism is a health and medical tourism company based in Johannesburg, South Africa, the home of the 2010 World Cup . The company’s primary drive is to provide holistic, comprehensive and quality health services to the international community.
Serokolo ensures that all have high level individualised recuperation and elegant accommodation whilst in the country, and has partnered with some of the most well renowned guest houses, hotels holiday resorts and game reserves in the country to offer a piece of mind.
