Save yourself up to 50% on plastic surgery in Poland
In recent years, Poland has emerged as a popular medical tourism destination. Polish doctors provide an attractive option for people in nearby countries who are seeking a high standard of treatment at more affordable price.
Although the cost of treatment is the most common reason, there are many others why patients are prepared to travel. For example, Polish clinics invested in multi-lingual staff, who are briefed to understand foreign patients' expectations and to assist with travel arrangements. Practices have had to be flexible and extend their opening hours. Some medical tourism companies offer treatment packages with local support, some modest sightseeing plus recovery and recuperation in first-class spa resorts.
Poland as an attractive destination
There are many factors which make Poland an attractive destination:
- Price - patients who are facing a surgery bill can often save a considerable amount, even after taking into consideration the cost of flights and accommodation.
- High standards - surgeons in Poland are highly skilled, with many having worked in other countries, including US and UK. Many clinics are ISO certified and have accreditation with the international Quality Monitoring Centre. The assurance of EU monitored quality levels in materials and facilities make Poland highly competitive. The Polish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgeons is a professional body which ensures that high standards are maintained. However, patients are advised to be thorough in researching their options.
- Modern clinics - there are numerous clinics and hospitals equipped with the latest technology. Infection control and safety is taken very seriously.
- Location - Poland is very close to the United Kingdom and Ireland, with many cities available in approximately 2-3 hours by air.
