Belgium
Belgium attracts most of its British patients because of how close it is and the low prices that never compromise the care received. Over 55, 000 patients travel for medical treatment in Belgium each year; Belgium is particularly appealing because of its reputation as a tourist destination for short weekend or holiday breaks.
Most patients considering surgery in Belgium can find themselves looking towards to capital, Brussels. The capital city is ideal for patients who wish to combine their treatment with a holiday; Brussels is sophisticated, relaxing and a fun place for a holiday and a perfect destination for treatment.
