Ralmed South Africa excels in medical tourism
By staff reporter
Since the outbreak of the novel Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, South African-based medical company Ralmed has emerged as one of the neighboring country’s leading institutions providing top-tier medical healthcare to visiting tourists.
Ralmed, headquartered in Johannesburg’s elegant Sandton suburb, offers a wide range of specialist medical services to tourists who become ill while visiting South Africa, including but not limited to vascular surgery, orthopaedics, cardiologists, oncologists, neurologists, gastroenterologists, and internal medicine.
South Africa is one of Africa’s most popular tourist destinations; in 2021, tourist accommodation generated approximately 11.9 billion South African rand (789.62 million US dollars), slightly higher than in 2020.
However, income from tourist accommodations was still significantly lower than that generated prior to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic between 2016 and 2019.
Ralmed’s director, Owen Man-hire, stated that the medical institution’s specialized services had attracted visiting tourists from all over the world who were wooed by the exceptional medical services.
“South Africa is a popular medical tourism destination on the African continent,” he said.
“Recently, we have seen an increase in international requests for South Africa’s specialized air ambulance, which transports patients inbound for hospital admission.”
“Ralmed caters to all of these services and has a specialized catalog for patients who travel to South Africa specifically for medical tourism,” he explained.
The doctors and hospitals of Ralmed South Africa are registered with both local regulatory authorities and international medical insurance companies. The company can also be accessed through its website https://ralmed.com/
Payments to gain access Ralmed doctors and hospitals are paid in South African currency, which patients can obtain at any South African Bureau De Change.
