Health tourism booming in Belgium - by Martin Banks

Just like in Poland health insurance is booming in Belgium. a growing number of tourists from around Europe who are flocking to Belgium for treatment. It is not just NHS waiting lists that are forcing British patients across the North Sea. The high cost of private care in the UK also means that treatment in Belgium can be a real bargain, even with travel costs added on.

Of all the treatments available for foreigners through Belgium's 'surgery supermarket', cosmetic and cardio thoracic surgery are two of the hottest items on the shelves and attract increasing numbers of customers from all over Europe. Prices in these areas are the cheapest in the EU and the standard of hospitals and operations is second to none.
