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🙏

Not pointless at all - an often unpleasant and sometimes dangerous side effect of nausea and vomiting is severe dehydration, which can be managed with anti-emetics and fluids.

You are right if you are underweight or have other medical issues. Otherwise drinking water cures dehydration too. Definitely not indian tap water though.

Been there. Done that.
