Health Diagnostics - Find peace of mind in Poland

Wednesday, 08 August 2007

When it comes to your health, prevention is always better than cure. This would explain the rising popularity of health diagnostics and preventative medical examinations available at private clinics across the country. Alison Hope of StatMedica looks at how combining health diagnostics with a short city break in Poland can ultimately save you money.

Whether you are anxious about a hereditary illness or simply want to give yourself a bit of an MOT, there are numerous health screening options available nowadays, including packages that offer ECG, CT and MRI scans, as well as blood tests and other diagnostic examinations. These tests can identify early signs of malignant tumours, blocked arteries and other potential conditions and illnesses, allowing preventative measures to be taken, or for surgeons and specialists to intervene quickly.

These tests are comprehensive and can offer peace of mind, yet they can also be prohibitively expensive for many people in the United Kingdom.

While newspapers and magazines regularly run articles about patients who have travelled abroad to save money on dental treatment or elective procedures such as cosmetic surgery, there are very few media reports on patients who travel overseas for health screening. Yet the benefits of travelling to Poland for preventative medical investigations are clear:

• You can save money
• The process is straightforward and can usually be carried out in a day
• You can combine your health screening with a city break - soak up the culture in Warsaw, Krakow, Gdansk

Back to the issue of saving money: by travelling to a private clinic in Poland, you can save up to 70% compared to health screening at a clinic at home in the United Kingdom. To give you an example, an MRI scan would cost in the region of £1500 in London, yet in Warsaw the process would cost approximately £500.

Private clinics in Poland are clean, modern and equipped with the latest technologies, and scans and tests are carried out by English speaking healthcare professionals. As with all medical procedures, it is essential that the patient is fully aware of the benefits and potential contraindications of diagnostic tests that they undergo.

With so many budget airlines now flying to destinations across Poland, there has never been a more affordable or convenient time to travel to cities like Warsaw, Katowice and Krakow. Furthermore, Polish cities offer a range of hotels to suit every budget and if you are looking for something a bit different, Polish spa resorts offer excellent value for money and make the perfect place to take a break.

If you or your loved-ones are considering health diagnostics, it definitely makes sense to consider your options in Poland, where you can save money getting peace of mind and enjoy a city break into the bargain.
