Your Surgery Abroad... officially operating: Henley Media's new medical tourism website is launched
by Adam Nethersole
The newest addition to Henley Media Group's successful portfolio comes with the launch Operations Worldwide Ltd and the website Your Surgery Abroad, a website designed to make accessing medical tourism easier for everyone.
Medical tourism, for those who have not heard the new buzzword, is the term used to describe the act of travelling abroad for medical treatment, and is a fast emerging market in both the US and the UK, as well as Canada, Australia, Japan and mainland Europe.
An estimated 1 million patients from North America and Britain travelled abroad in 2007 for medical treatments, and this number is expected to increase dramatically over the next decade. It's not just the rising cost of health care that is fuelling this phenomenon, but also the increasing number of Americans who are currently uninsured, and the long waiting lists experienced by the UK's NHS patients.
Operations Worldwide Ltd has built and is managing Your Surgery Abroad - a new online medical treatment directory of international healthcare providers that aims to bridge the gap between the patient and knowing how to search and contact clinics.
Potential medical tourists, or anyone for that matter, can search Your Surgery Abroad's extensive database of over 1200 clinics and medical tourism operators, across 80 countries and 27 treatment areas. This makes Your Surgery Abroad the most extensive and varied listing of medical tourism providers on the web.
