Australia

Australia tops Rupak’s list because it’s an easy sell for employers. Some employees have an aversion to certain parts of the world but Australia is “usually a place people want to go and it’s an easier sell,” he says. Common procedures include orthopedic (hip, knee, spine) surgeries and cardiac care.

Singapore

Singapore is a very clean and modern country with “phenomenal” health care, says Rupak. It’s an English-speaking country that “can handle very complex cases, mostly internal organ-related cases,” he says, such as pancreatic surgeries and liver and kidney resections.

Mexico

Employers might not think of Mexico for medical care but for those companies with a large Spanish-speaking population Mexico is ideal. Common procedures performed here include hip, knee and spinal surgeries, as well as dental work.
