Medical tourism (also known as Health and Wellness tourism) is a term that has come about as a result of the growth of international, or cross border, healthcare where people from all around the world are travelling to other countries to obtain general medical surgery, dental surgery, and cosmetic surgery (amongst other treatments) at a fraction of the cost of healthcare in their home country.
The Cyprus medical tourism industry has an excellent reputation for essential post-operative care, while its Mediterranean climate, with dry summers and mild winters, is ideal for recuperating patients as well as for those accompanying them. Rehabilitation Centres around the island, whether located within hospitals or stand-alone centres, are committed to the efficient and effective rehabilitation programmes in order to prevent and treat injuries, as well as improve both performance and quality of life. Skilled and dedicated staff through an interdisciplinary team approach provide innovative, high-intensity, outcome-based rehabilitation programmes for children, adults and seniors within a safe and supportive environment.
Cyprus Medical Tourism Treatments Include:
Elective Surgery:
There are as many different kinds of elective procedures available as there are bones in the body. They can include, fertility treatments (such as IVF), cardiovascular treatments, gynaecological surgery, musculoskeletal surgery, and many more.
Cardiology:
Renowned Cyprus hospitals are equipped to handle all phases of heart disease from the elementary to the latest clinical procedures, such as interventional cardiac catheterisation, coronary angiography, coronary angioplasty with stent implantation (PTCA), as well as non-invasive interventions, which include stress echo, 3D echo, myocardial scintigraphy, Cardiac CT, and Cardiac MRI.
Orthopaedic Surgery:
A number of orthopaedic procedures are available such as hip and knee replacement, bone transplantation, spine surgery, and limb sparing surgery. All kinds of musculoskeletal problems ranging from arthritis to sports injuries, to complex broken bones, bone tumours, and childhood conditions like scoliosis, can be treated most effectively.
Dentistry:
State-of-the-art dental surgeries equipped with cutting-edge technologies, fibre optic instruments, soft laser for the healing of the mucous membrane, panorama X-rays and conscious sedation equipment, offer the full range of services including aesthetic dentistry, orthodontics, paediatric, periodontology and implantology.
Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery:
The patient's motivation, to look and feel better, is directly related to their sense of self-esteem. Available treatments include laser peel or facelift, breast augmentation, external ultrasound lipolysis and hair replacement, to mention but a few, all aimed at improving one's appearance and generating a new sense of confidence.
Eye Surgery:
Specialist centres in Cyprus provide treatments for a wide range of eye disorders. Highly trained opthalmic specialists deal with the full range of eye diseases including laser vision correction, cataract, glaucoma and cornea treatment.
Advanced Reproductive Technology:
Specialist clinics provide most up-to-date fertility techniques with high levels of success. Treatments include conventional IVF treatments, pre-implantation genetic screening, and egg donation.
Climatotherapy Treatments:
Scientifically positioned centres make full use of the advantages of the island's climate for therapeutic purposes. For example children's asthma is treated in centres whereby its dry climate, protected from northern winds, is considered ideal. The island of Aphrodite, with over 300 days of sunshine a year, proudly offers its bright climate to alleviate any symptoms resulting from lack of sunshine that people may experience in their home country.
