Having trouble with medical tourism?

You need our services if: 

  • You lack experience with Western European patients in medical tourism
  • You’ve invested in strategies that haven’t delivered the expected results
  • You struggle to understand how to satisfy Western European patients

Western European Medical Tourism specificities

Compared to other markets, Western Europe stands out with several key elements:

  • Free Travel and Competition: Patients can travel freely and rarely need a visa, making other countries easy to reach and a big competition for you.
  • Top-Tier Hospitals: Western Europe boasts some of the world’s best hospitals. Patients only look abroad if they can’t get treatment at home. Non-Western Europe destinations are always a second choice.
  • Regional Differences: Northern Western European countries (e.g., UK, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden) have higher purchasing power than Southern ones.
  • Cultural Variations: Different cultures within Western Europe mean that what works in one country might not in another. 
  • Non-Medical Reputation: Countries’ reputations and attractiveness are influenced by political, religious, and other non-medical factors.
  • Limited Awareness: The high quality of healthcare in some non-Western Europe destinations is often unknown to Western European patients.
  • Negative Perceptions: Western European physicians often portray treatments outside the region negatively and may refuse to handle complications from surgeries done abroad.
  • Media Influence: Some media highlight horror stories to attract more attention.
Since 2008, we’ve successfully tackled these challenges with dozens of partners

Medical Tourism Seems Easy - Until You Try It!
Our expertise helps you tackle its common challenges.

Is Medical Quality Enough?

Top medical quality is a given in Western Europe, but it’s not enough to attract patients. While essential, it alone won’t make you stand out; It is however a must as patients won’t travel just for “almost the same quality.”

To succeed and stand out from competitors, you also need to:

  • Understand Your Patients: Dive into their cultural backgrounds, fears, and expectations. Get into their skin!
  • Adapt to Cultural Norms: For example, Swiss Germans value extreme punctuality, Dutch patients usually prefer direct communication, while British patients might expect diplomatic interactions.
  • Focus on the Entire Experience: Medical tourism involves months of interactions in 2 (very) different countries. Don’t overlook non-medical aspects; securing every part of the process is crucial.
  • Manage Complications: Effective complication management is often overlooked but essential.
  • Develop a Competitive Pricing Strategy: Understand how different cultures view money, payment methods, and the importance of fixed pricing.
  • Mitigate Legal Risks: Secure your operations and avoid common legal pitfalls
