Hospital Abroad is a free medical tourism platform that connects patients with verified doctors, clinics, and hospitals worldwide. We help you find the best healthcare options abroad by providing detailed listings, real patient reviews, and direct communication with medical providers.

No, never. Hospital Abroad does not handle, process, or collect any payments for medical treatments. All financial transactions are made directly between you and the hospital or clinic.

Getting started is easy! Simply browse our listings to find hospitals, clinics, or doctors that match your needs. You can filter by treatment type, location, and ratings. When you find a provider you're interested in, contact them directly through our WhatsApp button or contact form. There's no registration required to start exploring.

Once you contact a provider, they will typically respond within 24-48 hours. The hospital or clinic will discuss your medical needs, provide a treatment plan, and give you a cost estimate. From that point, you communicate directly with the provider. We're always available via WhatsApp if you need guidance during the process.

Reputable hospitals have clear protocols for managing complications.

Many hospitals offer post-operative follow-up packages. While we don't provide medical care ourselves, our support team can help you communicate with your provider.

Costs vary significantly depending on the treatment, country, and hospital. In general, medical treatment abroad can cost 40-70% less than in the US or Western Europe while maintaining the same quality standards.

All payments are made directly to the hospital or clinic. Hospital Abroad never handles any money. Payment methods vary by provider but typically include bank transfer, credit card, and cash. The hospital will explain their payment options and terms when you discuss your treatment plan.

The length of stay depends on your specific treatment. Some procedures like dental work may only require a few days, while others like major surgery may require 1-3 weeks including recovery time. Your chosen hospital will provide a detailed timeline during your consultation. Many patients combine their treatment with a short recovery holiday.
