Costa Rica Ranked in the Top 3 for Best Medial Care Offered to Visiting Tourists

Costa Rica Ranked in the Top 3 for Best Medial Care Offered to Visiting Tourists

  • New study judged 10 top holiday destinations for both quality of care and medical costs
  • U.S.A ranked the most expensive to be taken ill whilst on holiday
  • Costa Rica rates high for quality of medical care and costs of treatments

Few people consider the prospects of how much financially an accident or injury can impact on their holiday budget when booking their flights and accommodation.  Not only that, but where some destinations appear cheap to fly to, there is little thought of what would happen if things go wrong.

According to a latest study, India for example may prove to be one of the cheapest places to travel in, but the medical care is extremely expensive, ranking it in as the 2nd highest only to the U.S.A for costs.

On average the staggering fees from the U.S.A amounted to $1,400 for medical treatments.  Sri Lanka came in as top for the cheapest at $228, however New Zealand fared as the overall best for both quality of care and costs at just $231.

According to the new study: the best and worst destinations for medical costs:

Costa Rica Ranked in the Top 3 for Best Medial Care Offered to Visiting Tourists

The World Health Organization participated with their ratings in quality of medical care with New Zealand ranked first, Australia second and Costa Rica third.  All three counties also gave good value for money, with India failing dismally for both poor medical care and expense.

One always hopes that holidays are fun, memorable and perhaps even life-changing, but not for all the wrong reasons.  Backpackers in particular are often the most vulnerable with cutting costs on travel insurance and choosing the cheapest destinations to travel to.  Perhaps now this new study will enlighten those to re-consider Costa Rica as a far more inexpensive adventure, in the safe knowledge that they will be well taken care of during their welcoming visit?
