Tunisia you may or not know is a leader in the field of Cosmetic or "Plastic" Surgery.
Each year thousands of visitors make the important decision to have their needs catered for in Tunisia.com these visitors come from a number of countries and this includes a large number of those from the UK which surprised me as Tunisia is still up and coming and you would assume that UK residents would be mindful of a language barrier when planning something as complex as plastic/cosmetic surgery. However when you investigate further it is apparent why
Tunisia is the perfect place to have your medical procedure not just aesthetic surgery.
• Tunisia has a highly educated and motivated medical community. • Tunisia has first class state of the art facilities, which are improving all of the time. • Many of the top surgeons in Tunisia are from or trained in Europe and the USA and bring with them experience and qualifications from those markets. • Tunisia is near to Europe but far enough to lessen the stress. • Tunisians have great language skills and English is not a problem. • The cost of living is lower so that for the cost of the procedure alone in Europe you can have a complete procedure and conversance in the luxury that you deserve.
The last point is really important as some operations can be demanding for the patient and the rest is as important as the procedure itself with Tunisia having a world class selection of hotels and resorts you can recuperate and accustom yourself to your new self before journeying home.
Even for general surgery Tunisia offers you the chance to skip the waiting list of the NHS and relax away from the strains of work and family.
It is essential for those of you considering undertaking cosmetic/general surgery in Tunisia to plan your trip holistically and thankfully there are a number of great travel agencies who have a great deal of experience in this area and will take care of everything for you as do the clinics themselves. As with all services of this nature please ensure that you investigate the procedure fully that you wish to have and book with a reputable company any surgery is a personal procedure and one that you should feel comfortable undertaking.

DOKUMENTE MEDIZINTOURISMUS. DAS NEUE WELTWEITE GESCHÄFT
Tunesien und Thailand sind beliebte Urlaubsländer. Doch seit einigen Jahren entwickelt sich hier ein anderer Tourismus-Boom: Tausende Patienten kommen aus der Ganzen Welt, um sich in den neuen schicken Privatkliniken all inclusive einer Schönheitsoperation zu unterziehen oder ernste medizinische Probleme behandeln zu lassen - bis hin zur komplexen Herzoperation. Sie suchen sich die Klinik aus dem Internet, schicken ihre Befunde und fliegen frohgemut los. Wie sind die Erfolge, und was geschieht, wenn es Misserfolge gibt? Wer trägt die Verantwortung? Und wer verdient an diesem riesigen weltweiten Geschäft?
