For instance, Poland is one of the most preferred medical tourism destinations in this region.

The costs of these surgical procedures are lower than those in developed countries. Similarly, medical tourists prefer Switzerland for treatments as the country has more than 500 hospitals, whereby 40 plus hospitals are private medical centers. Spain is another European country that has many large hospitals and well-established clinics catering to international patients. However, treatment costs in these institutes are higher than the fees charged for the same services in Eastern European destinations.
