Medical tourism in Jordan is big business, with it ranking as the best in the Middle East and no. 5 in the world in terms of healthcare, Jordan definitely has a great track record.
The attractive costs for Jordan medical tourism is what makes the Middle Eastern nation a favorite in the Middle East as well as US visitors who would like to get affordable medical procedures done in the said country. Although it is in the Middle East, Jordan’s diplomatic relations with countries in the west makes getting a visa and traveling to the country more convenient.
Jordan is definitely the best in the Middle East because it had its first open heart surgery in the year 1970 followed by its very first kidney transplant two years later. By 1973, another landmark in terms of Jordanian medical achievements was put on record –its first laparoscopic surgery. Its first heart transplant was done in 1985 and was followed by the first IVF baby in ’87. In 1995, Jordanian doctors performed the first ever bone marrow transplant in the Middle Eastern country and in 2004, their first liver transplant. The track record of the Jordanians is quite good as compared to other medical tourism hotspots.
Due to the level of expertise provided by Jordanian hospitals, more and more people from the west fly to the country for medical treatments and procedures.
It’s not just world class hospitals and mosques that one can find in Jordan though. Petra, one of its most famous tourist attractions also offers world class spa right at the Dead Sea.
A well-developed nation in terms of tourism, traveling around Jordan is extremely convenient One will not have problems with the cuisine either because the diet mainly consists of fresh and dried fruits, cheese, yogurt, vegetables and grain –promoting a healthier lifestyle for those who are recovering from a major surgical procedure in the medical tourism hotspot.
