We often talk about taxes and making money here on this channel. However, there is one more important thing than that - it's your health.
And recently, I got asked about countries that offer good quality and affordable healthcare and medical treatments.
You have a problem that might be too expensive to get treatment for in your home country? There are huge waiting lines? You need to put a massive chunk of your savings into surgery or treatment? There might be alternatives for you!
Today we are talking about 5 countries that offer good quality and affordable medical treatments, and that are extremely popular for medical tourism.
So which countries are good when it comes to medical treatments?
1. The first one is clearly Thailand. This doesn't surprise at all. Thailand is home to many different medical treatments, including sex change. If you're interested in plastic surgery you might want to check Thailand out. They have massive modern hospitals, and you will pay a fraction of the price you'd pay in your home country.
2. Malaysia - Healthcare in Malaysia is quite good. You can get all kinds of treatments, and doctors are speaking English. I personally had a great experience in Malaysia.
3. India - This one might surprise you. Many people have all kinds of prejudice when it comes to India, but actually, India offers quite a lot when it comes to medical tourism. They have big hospitals and English-speaking staff. Many doctors and nurses are educated abroad, and they are of high quality. There are some treatments that you can't get anywhere else in the world.
4. Turkey - this is probably not surprising as Turkey has been a spot for medical tourism for quite a while now. You can see people getting hair transplants, nose jobs, and other kinds of esthetic procedures in Turkey. People from all over the world travel here to get treatments that are affordable and of good quality.
5. Mexico - another one that is not surprising. Mexico is especially popular among people from the US due to its proximity. You can get all the treatments that you could get in the US but for a fraction of the cost.

As a TURKISH guessing that CUBA the best one for medical
I'v done chemo and radiotherapy 2019 at Sarawak general hospital Malaysia. All the doctor's nurses are great and now healthy. For 3 month rm1k+ ..
I had great Cancer treatment in Manila, Philippines. Was far cheaper than the USA and great equipment. The Doctors were Western trained and very skilled.
Glad to hear that! Hope you're doing well now and thank you for sharing
@@OffshoreCitizen I was actually looking at both Thailand and India for a Cyber knife IGRT machine, only to discover that The Medical City in Manila had the newer True Beam machine and the 18F Coline PET scan machines as well. The Medical Team I had included a Professor in Robotic Surgery and an Oncologist who was trained in the USA and who'd worked in Korea and Japan. The entire treatments and follow up cost $6k USD and all but $1k was handled by my insurance. The same treatment in the US was going to cost $80k+, so pretty good deal. It was Stage 4 Prostate Cancer and I've been in remission for nearly 4 years. I discovered a lot of US citizens come here now, rather than Thailand, for treatments.
Wow, that's really impressive!
So happy it all worked out for you that well and that you're doing great!💪
@@OffshoreCitizen Thanks you. I really enjoy your advice. Keep up the great work!
@@tlevans62 I’m so glad , you shared your story with us. I’ve been thinking of retiring in the Philippines for a very long time but hears some bad stories about their medical treatments.
I wish you the best and I’m glad you are doing well now
The best health care I had was in Singapore (as an American). I had an ear infection and was flying out in the morning but was afraid of the pain once up in the air. I decided to go to the emergency room to be seen as my pain was horrendous. I went to the lobby of the hotel and the attendant asked me what I needed. I said I needed a taxi to go to the hospital. He said the taxis are right outside and the hospital is a few minutes away. I walked outside, got in the taxi and within a few minutes was in the ER in Singapore. Shockingly, it was empty. There was a woman at a desk and she asked me what I needed. I told her I had severe ear pain. She asked me to fill out a tiny tiny form. As I was putting in my address, she said "no, just put your name and your passport number. that's all we need." Right next to me stood a man watching me and when I finished my form, I looked to him and he said "am the doctor and am ready to see you". I thought "WOW, that's quick". We walked less than 10 feet and he took a look at my ears and did a general exam. There was a nurse in the room and he asked her to get me the meds. In a few minutes, she gave me antibiotics and pain killers and a course of antibiotics to finish the course. I paid around $30 US dollars and was done in less than 10 minutes. I was back at the hotel in way less than 30 minutes....Had this been in the US, the bill would have been thousands and thousands of dollars and probably a 5 hour wait.
Wow, what a difference! I find health insurance in the United States, is overwhelming, even besides the cost since you have to choose between quite a number of different health insurance, then choose what form of deductible you want, choose what kind of copayment you want, choose if you want it in or out of network doctor etc.
America makes it so complex just to get a health treatment, they want you to fall into their loop hole. @@enjoyslearningandtravel7957
India is a very good option especially if you want alternative treatments which are as effective as allopathy.
i am from india and sorry to say you that that only 20% or maybe less than it provide quality treatments rest all is after money .
India? $hittiest health care. Lol
This is such an important topic.. Was reflecting about this recently.. Thanks Mike for bringing it up. An idea - wouldnt it be great to have a list of the top hospitals in these places (Malaysia, India, Thailand, Turkey, Singapore, Dubai etc) for each type of treatment. For eg. For heart surgery X, for eye surgery Y, for dental Z, for annual health check ups A, ... For the most common illness groups.
You're welcome, glad you like the video.
That's a good idea and would definitely be useful👍
@@OffshoreCitizen The other idea following on from that Mike would be to assess if taking out private health insurance in say 2 or 3 of these countries would make sense, say Malaysia, Turkey and India. Would it be possible for say a British citizen to take out a health insurance plan in these countries if one is non resident there? Also does it make more sense to take out Top Up cover rather than comprehensive cover, to keep costs low and only use it in case treatment cost crosses a particular threshold, say $5k or $10k? Of course, most individuals doing this planning would be worth several million, so one can question if they need this insurance. But given the rising cost of some advanced procedures and medical inflation, it may make sense to do some risk transfer, especially when available at reasonable premiums.
for india you just can't list them cause there are so many , and even you choose any random private hospital you'll get top class treatment and very less cost
1- Thailand
2- Malaysia
3- India
4- Turkey
5- Mexico
Malaysia number 1 in the world..
Malaysia offers the world a very good and impresive healthcare services. You guy should look into it and good to invest those commercial properties nearby to the hospital. It offers very good return of investment. Medical tourism is booming in Malaysia
What are the cap rates like?
I had a lengthy dental visit in Queretaro Mexico. Walked in off the street, no appointment, and was seen by a Canadian-trained, English-speaking dentist straight away. Unfortunately sat in the chair for the best part of two hours - but needed the treatment. Received antibiotics and specialist mouthwash etc - received the bill for $40 for all. When I returned to the UK my own dentist couldn't fault the care I'd received.
It was worth the wait😄
Glad to hear you had such a good experience. Thank you for sharing your story
$40????
I just paid $800 to have some work done and that was with insurance.
None of this is really new but it’s good to hear people are beginning to realize that the medical systems in the old legacy Anglo European Empire cannot meet the demands placed on them and have an unsustainable cost structure. The covid catastrophe exposed the crumbling state health monopolies in Canada UK and others as political leaders locked people in their houses to keep them out of the hospitals. In Canada routine joint replacement surgery requires a 1-2 year wait, a disgraceful situation which will only get worse as the population ages. The medical care available in countries like Mexico and Malaysia is in many cases better and more accessible that in old legacy western countries
Maybe so, but that depends on the cost of a global medical insurance. For me, advanced heart medical care is a must. In fact, this is one reason that stops me from moving from Sweden.
Understandable. Some of our viewers have shared their stories in the comments, they are all very positive. You can check them out😄
You rock. I appreciate your research and opinion from Brittany Spears to the Olympics. Thorough and non-partial on all topics. Thank you.
My choice is definitely Malaysia. Top notch quality with the most affordable and efficient medical system. English speaking is another major factor too
Michael, your content and presentations are getting better each week. Thank you
Thank you for watching! Your continuous support is truly appreciated
@@OffshoreCitizen Looks like we are a month from funding and will contact you for structuring our project and CBI. Thanks
Looking forward to that! It will be my pleasure
low cost hospital treatment. india❤️.
I wager Malaysia is on the list.
Good guess!
Taiwan’s healthcare system and medical treatments are incredible good and efficient!
I've had medical treatments in Malaysia, Mexico & Belgium - all great treatment and affordable prices. For example... The Gleneagles Hospital in Penang was very much like a 5-star hotel. I recently had abdominal surgery in the UK with the NHS and would have travelled to Poland under normal circumstances (covid had closed the surgical unit in Poland). I had to wait too long which added to the pain and level of surgery required. It started as a routine operation but ended up with major surgery because of the long wait.
Glad to hear that!
Which one would you say was best?
All VERY professional - to be honest... if The Gleneagles, Penang becomes my local hospital - I'd be happy! Perhaps get two new knees when we move there in a few years!
Hi, as a Belgian, how did you end up there?
@@Sloarot The surgeon was greatly recommended by a number of his patients. Near Brussels - Vilvoorde.
Turkey Medical tourism is best for western citizens.
Bullshit :D
I'm in canada, and other than our emergency services and relatively low prescription costs, I've grown really disappointed with the low level of care, long waiting lists and outdated technologies/techniques We're basically forced to rely on in canada.
I really want to try a medical facility in one of the countries you've listed. I'd be greatful if you could give me some websites for the facilities you recommend that are reputable. So i could see what options they offer. Thank you.
It would be interesting to have a similar video focusing in the cvd control state/ restrictions of freedom during the last year or so. I feel this will be a big topic very soon.for anyone planning to relocate.
That's a good idea! Thank you for the suggestion👍
i live in india, i've been planning to settle in any western country .. the only issue that i'm facing is there healthcare system which is either expensive or long waiting lines for sure .. i got shocked to hear waiting time of these countries. India has very very very awesome and inexpensive healthcare system and most probably you get the treatment instantly. yeah there is problem of cleanliness but it depends on how much money you can pay. with money you can get treatment in clean private hospitals. but still the quality of doctors is best in government hospitals as they have to pass all the extremely tough medical exams.
Nice video. Pls consider videos on more progressive countries which have the best facilities or infrastructure for disabled folks or maybe a video of countries with the best reputation for kick-ass alternative healthcare treatments or complementary medicine especially for illnesses that western medicine have given up on.
Thank you, Michael!
Will do and thanks for the suggestion☺
The best unsurance fir Americans in general is shen they turn 65 and can apply for Medicare or you are very poirvand kn Medicaud. If you the average working middle age with family be prepared to pay lots of money, unless you wirk for ghe Apples of the world
More priceless content.
I need to book a call with you soon.
Thank you!
Looking forward to our call
Yup.. as soon as i decide what i want to talk about
What about Singapore? Is that good for medical tourism or too expensive?
I have heard both Colombia & the Dominican Republic....mostly for cosmetic/plastic surgery & dental.
Thanks for this absolutely wonderful video.
Lovely to see that u use KL as d backdrop cover of this video. It looks like Lake Titiwangsa with KL skyline in d background.
Our pleasure!
@@OffshoreCitizen 😀
1. Singapore
2. India
3. Thailand
4. Malaysia
5. Türkiye
What about Portugal? Extremely affordable and great quality.
They are very good #12 on the list i follow and USA is # 37th .. or 97th from my perspective
Thailand is a rip off. was quoted the same for hernia surgery as i got in Los Angeles.
Should maybe get other quotes
I agree with most information you have mentioned
Stemcell treatment is forbidden, by law, in the USA. That is what you get when you have a medical system ruled by religion...
Yep, I am for keeping religion and government apart
I think it’s best also to keep religion and state government separate
We talk about countries, in the same way our grand parents used to talk about neighborhoods 🤣🤣😂
Yes! That's crazy to think about🤯
Good info, thanks
A pleasure!
Anything you'd like to see next?
What health insurance companies provide coverage for these countries and is the contract valid even if one is not a resident ?
Generally all private health insurances. Like Foyer or passportcard.
Really good video. This would be of great interest to many people as the COOF 1 9 has clearly shown the limitations of so called Western Health ( unhealthy) Systems. I am specifically looking for Medical treatment for retinal damage. You did mention mexico for stem cell therapies. Do you know or could you recommend a doctor or hospital or possibly someone that has had experience. Also like your crypto videos. Thanks again 😊

Best tretment place in the world for delayed milestones..
I would be interested in international options for medical treatments of potentially lethal health problems if one is willing and able to pay either prices that are comparable to the western world but you get much better quality and procedures/meds unavailable in Europe/North America/UK or even high end/high cost treatments that could save your life and are typically not even known to people for Europe/North America/UK.
how much is top end say Cigna platinum global insurance per person and per family on average ?
has anybody told you that you look or at the least remind them of music producer armin van buuren
Haha actually yes, I’ve been told that already 😀
India is very cheap in Healthcare services
Are you in India? How is the quality of the services?
@@OffshoreCitizen yeah, i am in India and quality is good, cheap is not meant cheap quality
Please don opt for India...Drs are highly corrupt...They are only to make money
Cheap and worldclass treatment in india
Where did your friend go in Mexico?
I think Thailand is among the best places for cost. I can not effort US medication that cost 1.4K for 90 days medical supply in thwe US. I went to Thailand with medical exam and [rescrition for the same medication for much less than the US
What about mental health for medical treatment?
You really need to get into the specifics to analyze. Generalizations aren't very useful for specific issues
@@OffshoreCitizen thank you.
Pray to Lord Jesus for help with faith,ask Him for guidance in studying Bible everyday
India
The problem with foreign health care is that you have no idea how to find capable doctors as you can not do research. You have to have locals helping you.
There's lots of ways to research it not so different from searching around locally
@@OffshoreCitizen i don’t know turkish or other asian local languages.
So, how do you search? Just trusting the reviews?
India is cheapest and best treatment
