He says the services most in demand are surgery, dental implants and orthopedic treatments. Surgery services include esthetic and plastic surgery, dental treatments, fertility procedures, bariatric surgery, among others.
Cambiaso said that companies offering the wellness and medical services report increases of 15% in demand for these from tourists. Cambiaso estimates at 25,000 to 30,000 the international tourists that came in 2017 to take advantage of high-quality health care at a good price. He said 80% of those coming for medical tourism travel are accompanied.
