Why Foreign Patients Should Choose the Rhineland Healthcare Metropolis for Their Medical Treatment?
The latest treatment options, the therapies and innovative medical products, the chief physicians who are experts in their respective fields, as well as the state-of-the-art hospitals are factors due to which a growing number of foreign patients decide to have their medical treatment in the Rhineland healthcare metropolis.
Since 2012, the Rhineland healthcare metropolis, located at the heart of Europe, established itself as one of the trendiest regions for foreign patients seeking medical treatment in Germany. In 2013, compared to the data of the previous year, the region of Bonn/Cologne/Dusseldorf reported an increase of 31.9% in the number of foreign patients. The city of Cologne can be considered the doubtless leader, as it registered an increase of 51% in the number of foreign patients. Internationally, this region is one of the leading locations in terms of research, teaching and development. Here, the origins of diseases, the therapies, medications and medical products are continuously investigated and redeveloped.
Patients in Germany can often be among the first to have access to these latest research results, which are meant to help treat diseases more effectively, faster and in a less painful manner.
A good medical treatment does not consist merely of surgeries and treatments, as it should also include the subsequent rehabilitation process – an aspect which is often omitted in the homeland of the patients.
A further aspect is the accompanying spa and rehabilitation packages, due to which the Rhineland can be extremely attractive for foreign patients.
The multicultural environment of the Rhineland healthcare metropolis is also to be taken into consideration. In North Rhine-Westphalia there are over 9,400 physicians from around the world to assist the chief physicians in their work. Moreover, these physicians can help the foreign patients by translating the medical facts into their respective mother tongues and by mediating their concerns or wishes, thus making them feel understood.
Overall, the Rhineland healthcare metropolis is ideally suited to address the needs, wishes and care of the patients, thereby allowing them a fist-class medical treatment.
