Imagine this: Someone you know is becoming ill or had an accident, but they still have enough time and energy to fly to a nearby country.

Let’s help them decide where is best to go, with our actual reviews.

What’s your story of the best countries you’ve experienced for using their healthcare, and the worst?

It would help if you can go over the — issue/ treatment — costs (before insurance) — language barrier — quality of care

Thank you for helping people make a wiser choice to take care or themselves🙏

Got an eye infection at the village by Machu Picchu the night before going to the site. Basically didn't sleep. Spent a lot of time trying to find out what the options I had were, and it was really looking like I'd have to go back to Cusco (and this was when the train wasn't running, so taxi...). But once the sun was up I was able to contact the towns medical thing (which did not physically exist where google maps said) and they sent and EMT, who checked it out, and gave me eye drops that worked immediately, and bam, when to Machu Picchu.
