Health, treatment and general health of society has always been one of the priorities of governments and policy makers in Iran. In this regard, and due to the high potential of Iran’s health system, health tourism in Iran has attracted the attention of countries in the region in recent years. In this context and in order to get to know more about Iran’s health tourism capacities and abilities, we intend to answer the question why Iran can be chosen for treatment.
In general, the answer to this question can be examined from several aspects. The first and most important issue is the quality of the medical and healthcare system in Iran. Another aspect is the existence of necessary infrastructure for health tourism in Iran. The third issue is the existence of tourist attractions in Iran. And the fourth issue is the very low costs of medical services compared to other countries in the region.
Examining the quality of medical services in Iran
In general, Iran has a very good and acceptable ranking in the field of medicine and medical services in the world. Iran’s medical field has always grown in recent years and has reached the rank of 50 in the world to below 20. The quality of medical and dental education in Iranian universities can compete with the world’s top countries. Iran has 51 medical universities from which more than 3000 efficient doctors graduate annually.
In recent years, Iran’s health tourism has grown significantly and hundreds of thousands of health tourists have entered Iran every year. In particular, Iran is considered one of the poles of the region and sometimes the world in the fields of dentistry, gynecology and obstetrics, infertility treatment, cardiovascular diseases and angiography, eye diseases, eye surgery and general, reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries. . In 2017, the arrival of health tourists was from countries in the region such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Russia. In addition, a number of tourists from America, Australia, Canada and Sweden traveled to Iran to perform cosmetic surgeries.
Iran is considered one of the poles of the region in many ultra-advanced surgeries such as neurology, spine, orthopedic, otolaryngology, cochlear implantation, and head and neck surgeries. This type of surgery is a suitable indicator for measuring the knowledge of doctors and hospital facilities. Also, in the diagnosis and treatment of all types of cancer, Iran has grown significantly. In this regard, the radiotherapy and chemotherapy facilities of Iranian hospitals have provided a high attraction for health tourists in the region.
Health tourism infrastructure in Iran
Best country for treatment and plastic surgery: In recent years, several international hospitals were established in different cities of the country with the aim of providing medical and treatment services to foreign patients. Among the cities that receive the most foreign health tourists are Tehran, Mashhad, Shiraz, Isfahan, Tabriz, Urmia, Qom and Ahvaz. In other provinces, the provision of medical services to foreign tourists is expanding.
Also, due to the authorities’ attention to the potentials of this field, good infrastructure support is provided to the sector. Today, more than 300 companies in Iran provide support services for these tourists, who accompany patients from different countries in the region in obtaining visas, booking doctors’ appointments, staying in hotels, and translating. Pars Med Travel Medical Tourism Services Company is one of the active players in Iran’s health tourism sector, which provides all kinds of services needed by health tourists in Iran.
Investigating the cost of health tourism in Iran
Best country for treatment and plastic surgery: Certainly, one of the attractiveness of Iran’s health tourism compared to other countries in the region is its low costs. For example, the cost of an infertility treatment in Iran is about one-tenth of regional countries such as Iraq, Jordan, Turkey, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Thailand, and India, and about one-fifteen to one-twentieth of European and American countries.
Also, in dentistry, the cost of dental implants in Iran is about one-tenth of European countries. In the discussion of various cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries, the procedure is the same.
The cost of doctors’ visits and medical imaging in Iran is also very small and
less than one tenth of the countries in the region.
Finally, the costs of hospitals and special ward rooms as well as the cost of all kinds of drugs in Iran are much lower compared to the countries of Turkey, UAE, India, Malaysia and Iraq.
In addition to the treatment costs, the stay of the patient and
the patient’s companions is also quite affordable considering the value of the dollar against the national currency of Iran.
This issue, along with the quality of work of doctors and
medical services, is considered one of the factors of the strong growth of health tourism in Iran.
