Iran Medical Tours
Medical Tourism is nowadays at the core of the attention of many governments due to its major contribution to social and economic development. Most of the travel tour agencies pay attention to medical tours today. It refers to people traveling to a country other than their own to obtain medical treatment especially for surgeries (cosmetic or otherwise). Due to professional doctors and medical specialists, Iran is one of the health destinations which tries to create a better condition to attract more foreign tourists.
Island of Kish, located in the Persian Gulf, has made progress in medical tourism by offering visa-free medical services. This island provides well-equipped medical centers and proper accommodations. Moreover, based on improving health tourism and medical tours, Iran has decided to develop visa-free health tourism in Arvand Free Zone (with an area of 37400 hectares), located in its south-western border and northwest of the Persian Gulf, and Aras Free Zone in the northwest of Iran. Since these zones share borders with Iraq, Kuwait, Azerbaijan, and Armenia, they can be appropriate zones for health travelers. The travelers can easily travel by land or air, receive medical or other services available and then return their countries. These zones have a special geographical location and a strategic role in creating a relation outside the region. According to the Health Ministry, 105,000 inbound tourists visited Iran for medical purposes during the last Iranian year (which ended March 2017). They are mostly from Iraq, Pakistan, Jordan, Bahrain, Qatar, India, UK, Australia, Canada, and Germany.
Some other cities of Iran are very developed in healthcare services and medicine infrastructures and even play a pioneering role in medical innovations. “The most important cities of Iran in medicine” gives tourists a piece of brief information about well-developed cities in healthcare services.
Iran is rich in different types of medicinal herbs, natural resources such as hot and cold mineral springs, diverse climates, etc. The high-quality medical services at low costs, in comparison with developed and regional countries, also make Iran a hot health destination. In terms of infrastructure, efforts have been made to build equipped hospitals and hotel hospitals in Tehran, the capital, Isfahan, and Urmiya to serve medical tours. The services include beauty treatments and traditional medicine.
