Advantages of Medical Tourism

Paris is a true world city, on par with London or New York for infrastructure, facilities and connections to the outside world. Although the French are fiercely protective over their spoken language, Paris doctors and nurses in facilities geared for medical tourism all speak English.

The city is well connected by an extensive metro system, meaning you won't have to drive to get anywhere, plus there are quality hotels near all top Paris hospitals. Along with the trappings of Paris, including the likes of the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre gallery, are the nearby beaches of the Atlantic, as well as the Palace of Versailles. You could also take a short flight or a high-speed train to the Cote d'Azur for a spot of rest and recuperation after treatment.

Medical Procedures

Paris is most popular for cancer treatment. There are many hospitals able to offer superior cancer care over other cities. The city is also a leader in cosmetic surgery, obesity surgery and dental surgery, although prices for these procedures are more expensive than in some other well-known medical tourism destinations.

Hospitals

The HEGP, or the Georges Pompidou European Hospital, is one of the best known hospitals in Paris. This hospital is to be found within the 15th arrondissement, to the south-west of the city centre, and comes with over 800 beds and many expert physicians.

Some of the equipment here is state-of-the-art and includes two MRI scanners, several angiography devices and scintigraphy gamma cameras, as well as an array of other up-to-date equipment. The Georges Pompidou is a university hospital and is heavily involved with research and trials of new procedures.

The Avant Medical Group is another high quality Paris facility for medical tourism. It is especially well equipped to perform cosmetic treatment, such as breast enlargement and reduction, as well as liposuction and facial surgery.
