Medical Tourism for Middle Eastern Patients: Trusted, Halal-Friendly Healthcare Abroad
Patients from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, and Jordan choose our partner hospitals in Turkey, India, and Thailand for advanced treatments with halal meals, prayer facilities, Arabic-speaking staff, and culturally respectful care.
Why Middle Eastern Patients Choose Treatment Abroad
Advanced Treatments Not Available Locally
Complex organ transplants, advanced cancer therapies like CyberKnife and proton therapy, bone marrow transplants, and specialized neurosurgery may have limited availability or long wait times in the region. Our partner hospitals offer immediate access to these life-saving treatments.
Halal-Friendly, Culturally Respectful Care
Our partner hospitals in Turkey provide full halal compliance — halal-certified meals, dedicated prayer rooms, gender-sensitive care options, and Arabic-speaking medical staff. Indian and Thai hospitals also offer halal meal options and Arabic interpreters.
World-Renowned Specialists
Access surgeons and oncologists who are leaders in their fields — performing thousands of procedures annually. Many trained at top institutions in the US, UK, and Europe, and now lead departments at JCI-accredited hospitals.
VIP and Premium Services
Premium private suites, VIP airport meet-and-greet, luxury hotel accommodation, private transfers, and dedicated Arabic-speaking concierge service throughout your stay. We ensure comfort matches the quality of your medical care.

Patient Success Stories
“After being quoted $45,000 for knee replacement in the US, I found Travel4Treatment. They connected me with a top orthopedic hospital in India where I had surgery for $7,500. Six months later, I'm back to hiking with no pain. The hospital was world-class and doctor was US-trained.”

“I researched cosmetic surgery for years but couldn't justify the $18,000 price tag. Travel4Treatment arranged my care at Malo Clinic in Portugal for less than $9,000. The quality was exceptional, and I extended my stay to enjoy Lisbon. Best decision I ever made!”
