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🙏

Hong-Kong was terrible for me. I had a sudden problem with my foot, many hours of waiting for the doc to say he has no idea what’s going on but he is sure it’ll go away with painkillers. Paid a couple hundred usd for that, painkillers didn’t help, came back again and the doctor prescribed more painkillers :)) they also didn’t work… wasted money for two appointments plus the pills. On the second appointment the doc suggested the only thing I can do for him to make any changes in his “treatment” is an mri for ~4000 usd. No thanks…
