Surgery in South Africa
South Africa made medical history and front page news around the globe when Dr Christian Bernard performed the world’s first heart transplant in 1967. Since then, the country has enhanced its reputation as one of the finest healthcare providers in the continent with patients coming from all over Africa to avail of the country’s professional and prestigious medical facilities. In recent years, South Africa has become an increasingly important destination for people seeking surgery and medical treatment abroad, particularly in the area of cosmetic treatment. ~The cost of plastic and cosmetic surgery in South Africa remains 60 percent to 65 percent cheaper than in Britain for example. The reputation of SA’s doctors and surgeons is second to none, and combined with the Rand's (South Africa's currency) low exchange against all the major world currencies, visitors from the west are finding the country offers excellent patient care at very reasonable prices.
Quality of care
Patient care and medical treatment are of a very high standard in South Africa. State -of -the -art facilities and access to the very latest technological advances in medicine are very much the norm in the major cities of Johannesburg and Cape Town. It takes 10 years of training before becoming a surgeon in South Africa. Students study for 4 years before becoming a medical doctor with another 4 years before they can set up practice as a cosmetic surgeon. Many cosmetic surgeons are members of the General Medical Council in the UK as well as their own internal organisation such as the Colleges of Medicine of South Africa. *Acknowledgement of the quality of service in the South African Health system can be judged by the recent decision of National Health Service in England to approach their Western Cape counterparts, with a view to have patients travel from the UK for treatment.Surgery and Safari
For many people travelling to South Africa for treatment, the country itself is part of healthcare. The year round sunshine, the extraordinary scenery and the opportunity to see wild animals in their natural environment all add to the appeal for medical visitors. And with the cost of your treatment significantly lower than many western countries, the opportunity to spend your saving on the county’s famous attractions is too good to miss for thousands of travellers every year. Many SA healthcare companies and private clinics have realised the country is a great natural asset and offer recuperation and relaxation packages after medical procedures. In many cases, the overall cost of a surgery and safari trip is less expensive than surgery in the UK. Not all recoveries are suitable to the hot southern African conditions however, but your Healthcare Provider will advise you of the risks involved.
