Today, due to the great devaluation of its currency, Venezuela has become one of the most economical countries for a surgery.
For example, a joint replacement surgery cost between $ 5,000 and $ 8,000 (including the implant), while in other countries like the United States, the same surgery cost $ 25,000 and above.
A medical consultation, depending on the specialty cost between 2 and 10 dollars.
Of course not everything is perfect, the lack of medicines, medical supplies, laboratory reagents and personal insecurity makes this not an attractive destination.
The savings for the foreign insuring companies are so big, that some of them have eliminated the deductibles in their policies if you attend in Venezuela.
However, for the Venezuelan people have a surgery in a clinic has become extremely expensive, the coverage of the insurance companies is barely enough for a small part of the total amount
At the end we have a country with excellent specialists, good clinics, but without resources or security, with the cheapest medicine for the rest of the world and virtually unpayable for most Venezuelans.
