Argentina
Recently, Argentina has followed its neighbouring countries and appraises itself as one of the leading destinations for medical tourists. Argentina has now developed itself with massive resources, top of the range procedures and a willingness to please all foreign patients who venture to Argentina for their treatment. Most Northern American and Canadian patients travel to Argentina due to its quality medical care and close proximity.
Argentina’s most popular procedure is cosmetic surgery, performed by qualified professionals in hundreds of clinics across the country with close communication links to patient’s home countries.
