Calgary, Alberta (PRWEB) March 15, 2012
Ongoing studies have shown the biggest increase in knee replacements is actually among younger people with Osteoarthritis being the major cause. Total knee replacements have become so widespread that they’re more common than national rates for rheumatoid arthritis and congestive heart failure.
The increasing healthcare costs in the US, accompanied by increased lack of access to the proper care, have caused many US citizens to explore the viability of treatment abroad.
Medical Travel, also known as Medical Tourism, is a booming industry as increasing numbers of US citizens travel abroad for a variety of surgical procedures, dental treatment and fertilization treatments as well. Surgical Escape continues to contract with only the highest quality, internationally certified hospitals and facilities – and these outstanding centers of excellence provide top quality medical and dental treatment, outstanding service, along with cost savings in the 50-70% range for comparable services in the US. In addition, the vast majority of the medical personnel have actually been trained in the United States and these international medical facilities often have strong ongoing ties with major medical centers in the US.
In addition to the advantages of price and quality of care, availability is another reason for choosing Medical Travel companies such as SurgicalEscape. Access to cutting edge treatments such as MS Liberation, which may be limited or not available in-country, also drives people to explore Medical Travel options for their healthcare needs.
Since many insurance programs in the United States fail to cover obesity surgeries, cosmetic procedures or treatments for infertility, these are consistently atop of the list for patients accessing SurgicalEscape for healthcare.
