Medical Tourism growing in Brasil

Medical Tourism is a concept that´s getting strong in Brazil. And according to the Ministry of Health, it could grow up to 35% until 2016. The country has received an increasing number of foreign patients who chose medical tourism for its blend of quality of service and price, even 2/3 cheaper than in Europe and The United States. Aware of this segment, hospitals and hotel chains have invested in hospital rooms that look more like luxurious suites than conventional hospital facilities.

Polls indicate that one of the reasons for the growth of medical tourism in Brazil is a huge demand for specialized treatment from european, canadian and american patients, who do not have available units in their respective countries. And since you can´t negotiate time when it comes to health, many need to go somewhere else to find alternatives. And Brazil has stood out for offering an adequate private network for all types of treatment. It is estimated that, since 2008, at least 180 thousand people have come here for medical treatment.

Aware of the new opportunity, Life Center hospital in Belo Horizonte is one of the medical units to invest in medical tourism. The hospital, together with Mercure, a hotel chain, has developed Hotel Mercure Life Center, which offers convenience so that the patient can have the best in comfort and coziness during medical treatment

Being a benchmark in medical tourism, the apartment structure is complete as in an executive hotel. It includes an LCD TV, kitchen with microwave oven, and many other convenient features to make the daily small tasks easier during hospitalization. The apartments also have a living room, so that the patient can have some privacy during the routine procedures, as the visitors wait comfortably. That way, Medical Tourism is an ally in the treatment, after all, well-being and quality of life are fundamental for a quick and steady recovery.
