Clemmons, NC -- NC Medical Travel to Costa Rica (known internationally as DentaRica) is making final arrangements to be exhibitors at two major regional fairs, the Dixie Classic Fair in October and the NC Mountain State Fair in September. They will be unveiling their newest promotional video, made in conjunction with the partner hospital, Clinica Unibe.
This video has been a true international effort, with part filmed in North Carolina and part made in Costa Rica. It is designed to help businesses understand exactly how NC Medical Travel can benefit their bottom line, as well as their value to both existing and prospective employees. In it, specific questions are answered, such as "Why will my employees chose to travel?"
These fairs are both well-attended, and NC Medical Travel anticipates meeting many types of people, although most will be individuals and small business owners. The new video, even if not directly addressing these attendees, will be of extreme interest. The video features a patient testimonial of a NC resident while in Costa Rica for treatment from partners of NC Medical Travel. The video clearly shows the hospital itself, the doctors, and even the airport! Perhaps most importantly they will see for themselves the high standards in healthcare practiced by the Costa Rican facilities.
To better illustrate the cost savings being discussed, it is often useful to compare the cost and savings of various costly procedures as hip replacements and knee surgery. It is realistic for U.S. health costs to be $50,000 for many such procedures. The Costa Rican cost may be as low only $16,000 for the same procedure with the same FDA guidelines. $24,000 is an enormous savings, weather to a business or to an individual.

World Health Organization's ratings for nation's overall healthcare
Although wikipedia is not entirely accurate, this information is widely in agreement with other sites, including the WHO's own.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/
What is really amazing is how the US is not rated especially high, although not especially low either.
This is not new information or anything secret. It is simply not widely thought about.
Costa Rica is ranked HIGHER than the U.S. See for yourself. Why would someone who has decided on medical tourism choose to travel to a country with a lower rating? As far as money matters are the reason, Costa Rica is as affordable as many other destinations.
Recently, I wrote a blog post about escaping USA hospitals because of medical errors and sloppy healthcare. The WHO rankings demonstrate the same problems, and also the urgency to find a better alternative.
