Cross border healthcare boosts medical tourism
In an earnest attempt to facilitate the patients to gain access of the quality treatment facilities the available all across the EU countries, the EU Cross-border Healthcare Directive is planning to lift the restrictions on passengers who wish to travel to other EU countries for their treatment purpose and they are also privileged to reclaim the cost of treatment from the NHS excluding travel and accommodation costs along with any extra cost if the charge exceeds the NHS cost.
While commenting on this Keith Pollard of Treatment Abroad said: “The new decision will revolutionise the healthcare sector in the country and throughout the rest of Europe. The directive will extend the patients choice to high level. The new announcement will boost the traffic of our website, www.treatmentabroad.com, not only the patients from Britain but also from other EU countries who are in search for looking for comprehensive, reliable and practical information about treatment options and facilities within EU member countries.”
www.treatmentabroad.com is a holistic website that deals health tourism. It makes them equipped to take informed decisions while choosing destinations, facilities and doctors for their treatment. The information provided in the Travel Abroad includes the healthcare services, doctor’s accreditation, treatment costs, and travel and accommodation facilities. Availability of a comprehensive free Guide to Medical Tourism is an added attraction of this site.
The futuristic directive from the European Union on cross border healthcare will boost the growth of medical tourism in the UK.
