Panama, the Land of Butterflies, Offers New Medical Tourism Options
Posted by business | travelling | Posted on May 16th, 2010
Medical tourism is on the rise. Many people from industrialized countries, where the cost of health care is almost prohibitive, are opting to visit other countries for medical attention. These nations offer excellent medical services, at a fraction of the cost. More and more, the Republic of Panama is the country that “medical tourists” are choosing to visit.
Many of doctors in Panama not only speak English, but were trained in the United States or European countries. Panama’s doctors are very experienced and hospitals and clinics here follow American standards when it comes to medical procedures. In fact, the Punta Pacífica Hospital located in Panama City–is affiliated with the world-renowned John Hopkins Medicine International and has state-of-the-art medical equipment and facilities. At the same time, the cost of medical care in Panama is very affordable.
Receiving world-class medical services while enjoying vacation in a luxury setting is affordable in Panama. You will find a wide range of health services and experienced specialist physicians in all areas and specialties, such as dental implants, cosmetic or plastic surgery, assisted reproduction, cardiology, cosmetic dentistry, orthopedics, and many, many more. You can even have an “extreme makeover” done and return home not only feeling great but looking like a new person. After your surgery or procedure, you can recuperate in beautiful hotel-spas on the beach, in the rainforest, or in the mountains. You can have everything arranged for you in advance.
Panama, at its best, is a beautiful cultural blend of the “old Spain”, the “modern America” and curiously the “bazaar effect” of the east. As a major commercial point, Panama is strategically placed as a crossing point between the Pacific and the Atlantic. Panama offers eco-tourism, adventure and health tourism and is also home to one of the friendliest people you will ever meet.
Panama has something for everyone. This is a land of carnivals and bird watching to adventure sports and exciting night life. There are very few contenders to the quality of Panama’s tourist attractions. Accessible rain forests are filled with flora and fauna unique to this region. Panama boasts beautiful mountain sides and contains some of the most interesting culturally rich historical sites in the world. Panama is all that it promises and much more.
Panama is a very safe place to travel. It has the highest rating of tourist safety from the prestigious Pinkerton Intelligence Agency. As well, Panama is close to the US and is just a short plane-ride away. Eight major US cities offer direct daily flights to Panama City: Los Angeles, New York, Newark, Miami, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta and Orlando.
Panama has a first-world infrastructure including a US style capital city with high speed Internet, the second largest Free Trade Zone in the world, a banking sector with 100 banks, first rate hotels, restaurants and shopping almost on par with the United States or European countries. The highway infrastructure, medical care, and business services are excellent. Even the tap water is safe to drink, a rarity in Latin and Central America.

Your question doesn't make any sense.
there no dought no matter what there gonna be the richest country even if another war happens lol there gonna be ready so liberia dont attepmt
Without tourism, you would not have to look at fat, ugly people in shorts and white socks, running around proving to everyone that tourists can only speak AmeriKan and KNOW that if you YELL in someone's face, they will immediately understand AmreiKan.
They also forget how to drive.
I used to have a bumper sticker that said: "WHEN I GO ON VACATION I AM COMING TO YOUR TOWN SO I CAN DRESS FUNNY AND DRIVE LIKE A MORON."
Sierra Leone is a peaceful country now and infact we just recently had free and fair elections. There are no rebels left in the country and the country is steadily progressing. And besides Sierra Leone has some of the nicest people and best beaches in the world HANDS DOWN!!! Trust me I know!
Tourism has increased immensely with now flights to Antartica from Sydney, you do have the chance to land but mostly you just fly over and look.
The war is over, and RUF is defeted.
I work with communities in developing tourism. The single biggest factor:
Whether or not the community sees tourism as an economic driver… takes it seriously. Community understanding and buy-in regarding the benefits of tourism is essential to development of the industry. Are they willing to commit financial and human resources to assist in developing the destination…
Political will by local politicians to take tourism seriously is essential. So many communities see tourism as a "last resort" (no pun intended!) and are still chasing smokestacks rather than dedicating time and energy to developing tourism.
Once this happens, obstacles can be addressed and the destination can build a plan to develop products to position themselves to attract desired markets.
Yea, have fun sipping your drink with the one hand you have left. The rebel RUF forces are still causing problems there and things are not that nice. Senegal or Morocco would be better for your African adventure. Sierra Leone is a beautiful place, Africa is a beautiful place, but that part of the world is so war torn over this wonderful land.
If you want to really see what Africa is like join the WFP or be a UN peacekeeper… know the truth through thruth, not vacation.
Hi, spa packages are actually getting popular nowadys. Not just the usual spa, people are going more for the holistic and healing spas programs. Key aim of the packages should be targeting relaxation, wellness and health. You did not say where you are located, so I will not be able to offer much.
But take a look at how this is done, like in Thailand. There are spas in hotels and packages offered cover the rooms, spa treatment and dietary health advice. This can be a 1-day, 2-day or even 3-day packages. So the guests gets pampered without having to leave the comfort of the hotel or resort room.
Standalone spa may be a bit difficult as you can only offer the treatment. Try to have a nearby accommodation tied in for a total package deal.
A check on the prices shows that such spa stay cost from between US$100 up to US$500 a day, depending on the location and hotel/resort status.
I guess it will be good if you can try and experience it for yourself. Take a trip to Thailand for one of these packages.
Tiger balm in Singapore.
Exactly, they are just ignorant. People it’s 2008! The place is peacefull and beautifull! Give me a break! There are no rebels anywhere to be found… It has been completely safe since at least 2002. I think it’s due to bad advertisement like BLood Diamond etc.
CIRCULAR FLOW: Foreign tourists spend money and that money generates higher incomes, which is then spent by individuals on more products and services, meaning more income for businesses, meaning higher incomes, etc.
IMPORTS? Tourism money acts more like exports than imports, since a country is selling its resources (natural beauty) and services (hotels, restaurants) in return for foreign money.
The cost of our health care is far too high. Even a falling dollar cannot make us competitive with countries like India and Thailand.
Hampstercrazy does not know what he is talking about. He is ignorant. It is not perfect, but no one will not cut off your arm. It is a place that you must really explore and learn a little bit of the history before visiting to get a great experience. Ignorant people should not have internet!!!!
Travel locally. Flying is one of the biggest producers of green house gases. And yes, Al Gore that includes you.
PS: Icon MC what oil company do you work for?
beautifull!
Kenya is wonderful. Tourists aren’t bothered too much, as long as you lay low and not make a big deal about your citizenship to another country or how much money you have. Have fun, and good luck!!
