Alicante promotes itself as a top spot for health tourism

Alicante is well-known for being a healthy place to live or go on holiday. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has said the region is one of the healthiest places to live, the climate is beneficial for many people and the Mediterranean diet rich in fresh, seasonal fruit and vegetables, fish and olive oil is also highly-acclaimed.

Now, the Alicante region is gearing up to become a top destination for health care. The WHO also ranked Spain’s health service as seventh in the world in 2013 so health tourists can be assured they will be getting first-class treatment at top-quality clinics and hospitals.

Lengthy NHS waiting lists and the cost of private operations and treatments in the UK has led to even more people flying out to Alicante for treatments and therapies.

Mediterranean diet is great for your health

The quality of the hospitals and clinics coupled with the low cost compared to those in northern Europe are encouraging tourists and visitors to have medical treatments in the Alicante region.

Many specialists speak English, Dutch and German as well as Spanish so there won’t be any problems with the language.

Mediterranean Health Care president Alberto Giminez highlighted the quality of care homes for older people, treatments available in the medical clinics and the wide range of highly-qualified specialists as good reasons to seek treatment in Spain.
