Belarus receives over 150,000 medical tourists annually according to recent data, with most patients coming from Russia and requiring a variety of treatment types.
The most popular treatments are oncology, cardiology, transplants, and stem cell treatment.
The low cost of food and lodging in Belarus, plus its central location in Europe and close proximity to the Baltic capitals, St. Petersburg, and Moscow, add to the country’s attractiveness as a health-care destination.
The number of international patients in Belarus- a figure that includes travellers and expatriates as well as medical tourists is:
- 100,000 in 2010
- 115,500 in 2011
- 130,000 in 2012
- 160,000 in 2013
- 160,000 in 2014
- 160,000 in 2015
The last three, and the minister’s 2016 figure are all very rough estimates,
People from over 100 countries worldwide go to Belarus for medical services. Those are mostly citizens of Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Georgia, Syria, Germany, Israel, Italy, Cyprus, and Yemen.
