Malaysia is considered a country of “explosion” of the best medical services. Here, patients feel like they are being given special attention with patient reception areas right at the airport and direct transfer to the medical facilities that patients need.

Most hospitals meet high standards, with Malaysia having eight hospitals certified by Joint Commission International – a gold certification for US healthcare providers.

2. Columbia

Columbia is ranked highly by the World Health Organization (WHO), even higher than developed countries. The biggest advantage of health services in Columbia compared to other countries is the investment and support from the Government.

In Colombia, health insurance, which is mandatory for all citizens, is charged at a very low rate, around 12% of a retiree’s salary. For supplementary health insurance, the fee is only about $400 for two people, with no time or age restrictions, and is available in most Latin American countries.

3. Costa Rica

In Costa Rica, 11% of your monthly income is the minimum you have to pay for public health services for two people. In addition, all doctor's appointments and treatment costs are covered by insurance.

4. Panama

Punta - The largest hospital in Panama.

No need for a referral and still be able to travel all over the country (both public and private services) for medical examination and treatment are the advantages that Panama's health care service can bring to you. For only 25 USD for an X-ray, 30 USD for a mammogram, 5 USD for a blood test, patients are diagnosed and treated by the best doctors and the most modern machines.

5. Mexico

CIMA - One of the most prestigious hospitals in Mexico.

Since 2003, Mexico has implemented comprehensive health care reform, which emphasizes the role of Universal Health Insurance (Seguro Popular program) to ensure social security, regardless of status, occupation, or ability to pay.

With the Seguro Popular program, Mexico began to provide free treatment for a number of diseases: testicular cancer and prostate cancer, bone marrow transplants, breast cancer. Children under 18 years old are fully supported for diseases related to tumors and cancer. Thanks to this policy, cancer patients feel much more optimistic and secure to be able to fight the terrible disease until the last moment.
