Why Iran?

Iran is one of the most popular destinations for medical tourism, boasting some of the best doctors and facilities in the world as well as many tourist attractions and should not be overlooked. Among its many attractions, the country offers highly affordable medical treatments as well as some of the world’s best doctors and health care facilities, together with vacation options that are unrivalled anywhere else in the world. Since legendary surgeon Ali Malek Hoseini put Iran’s healthcare services on the map by performing the first liver transplant in Middle East, the country’s reputation for medical excellence has gone from strength to strength.

In addition to essential treatments, Iran is well known for affordable eye surgery, organ transplant, fertility treatments, dentistry, cosmetic surgery procedures as well as nose reshaping, face lift, breast enlargements and others, creating a thriving medical tourism industry. A large number of medical tourists come from other countries within Asia, particularly for affordable infertility treatments. Many other patients also come from Middle Eastern countries, African continent, Germany, Italy, and other parts of Europe.

But there’s more on offer than just medicine. Many popular ‘surgeon and safari’ packages combine affordable treatments at a cosmetic plastic surgery clinic with exciting features such as 5 star accommodations in Shiraz. A historical tour, city tours and an Eco- tour, all included in a very affordable and attractive price. Many patients also choose to stay in the country for longer periods and take advantage of the abundant sunshine, visiting monuments, shopping, and a variety of other attractions that make Iran a truly unique tourist destination. Some of the many reasons that Iran is one of the world’s most popular medical tourism destinations include:

• Different lifestyle: many cities of Iran are historical cities and historical places have been preserved, so living in such historical cities is an exceptional experience.

• Facilities: Medical tourists can expect to find highly trained doctors working in modern, accredited hospitals and clinics with state-of-the-art equipment.

• Currency: Thanks to the weakness of the rials, hundreds of medical procedures are available at a comparatively low cost, with most surgeries coming in at roughly a sixth of the price for an equivalent procedure in the USA. For example, A nose job is around USD $2,000 and a tummy tuck is approximately $1,200 – $2,800. A facelift is about $1,200 – $2,400, while a forehead lift can go up to USD $6,000 in the USA.

• Natural beauty: Those who want to take in the country’s rich natural beauty and get away from the cities won’t be disappointed either. Beautiful scenery countrywide, the opportunity to see untapped zones, and a variety of tranquil, natural settings all promote relaxation and recovery following a medical procedure.

• Language: Most people speak at least a little (if not fluent) English and Arabic, so communication is not all that difficult.

All in all, Iran is a unique and attractive destination for medical tourism, boasting world-class plastic surgeons and facilities to attend to all your medical needs. These outstanding healthcare services come together with five-star tourist attractions to make a holiday worth remembering.
