For one, the prices of the treatments are higher than the <a href=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/traveling-medical-treatment-makes-sense\">destinations<\/a> in Eastern Europe and Asia. The administrative system is tricky too, as reimbursement is not issued if the paperwork is improperly filed.<\/p>\n<p>The cost for food and accommodation is pricey in Paris and other big cities. France, therefore, can market to the <a href=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/why-business-training-is-important-in-medical-tourism\">richer markets<\/a> for medical tourism. Another hindrance is getting medical visas which is a long process taking upto 3 weeks whereas one can get in one day in Germany, in comparison.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Telemedicine\">Telemedicine\/ remote medicine offering to international patients<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-35435 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2011\/02\/Videoconferencing-With-Doctor.jpg\" alt=\"Videoconferencing With Doctor \" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2011\/02\/Videoconferencing-With-Doctor.jpg 800w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2011\/02\/Videoconferencing-With-Doctor-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2011\/02\/Videoconferencing-With-Doctor-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Telemedicine has been provided since 2010. This mode of virtual consultation has been of great use during the pandemic, with 4 million people using it in 2020. French hospitals are developing their infrastructure to offer <a href=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/telemedicine-possesses-potential-lure-foreign-patients-boost-medical-tourism\">telemedicine <\/a>to patients all over the world. For example, offering remote echocardiogram interpretation, as well as remotely monitoring the medical devices implanted in patients.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Thalassotherapy\">Thalassotherapy in France<\/h2>\n<p>Thalassotherapy is \u201csea healing\u201d, or using seawater, seaweed, mud, sand etc to cure and prevent ill-health. Invigorating, tonic and relaxing are the qualities of French thalassotherapy, and these are much in demand right now. People are looking for ways to recuperate or get a reprieve from stress, and France can attract people seeking to boost their health holistically.

Besides Covid, countries have to fight diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes complications. Orthopedics, emergency care, remote care are other healthcare needs that can be met by France.<\/p>\n<p>French Healthcare is the private-public initiative supported by the French Healthcare Association, Business France and the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs. It aims to bring together all the players in French healthcare\u2019s ecosystem, such as businesses, researcher\u2019s, major public shareholders, doctors and surgeons etc.<\/p>\n<p>This is part of the government measures to boost <a href=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/wellness\/10-highly-beneficial-traditional-alternative-medicine-systems\/\">health tourism <\/a>in France and cut the administrative obstacles for foreign medical tourism investment. France has never courted medical patients from abroad, focusing on providing healthcare to citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Medical tourism is now being perceived by the government as a measure that can boost the French economy. Hospitals too, have undergone a paradigm shift and started to approach high-end English speaking patients who look for concierge services, competitive treatment rates and a hassle-free experience.<\/p>\n<p>A recent government report claimed that France could earn upto 2 billion dollars revenue by 2020 as well as creating 30,000 jobs. Covid 19 has disrupted these figures but it is possible to pick up later when the situation the world over is better.<\/p>\n<p>Experts suggest creating all-inclusive<a href=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/medical-tourism-packages-pricing-perceptions\"> packages for medical tourists<\/a>, launch a multilingual web portal, and promote French Healthcare abroad in embassies. After the health scare of Covid is over or under control, France can aggressively promote the medical tourism industry and offer competition to rivals such as Germany, Belgium and UK.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdfd521071161cba44192976af7f7799\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n          <p><a id=\"link-15\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\" id=\"img-15\" src=\"\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\r\n            <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n              if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"link-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('href',myObj.url);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"img-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('src','https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/\/uploads\/'+myObj.image);\r\n              }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/\/api\/Ads\/15\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        <style>\r\n        *{box-sizing:border-box}.top-container{display: grid;grid-template-columns: auto auto auto;}.column{float:left;width:100%;padding: 0 7.5px 15px 7.5px;}.row{margin:0 -5px}.row:after{content:\"\";display:table;clear:both}@media screen and (max-width: 600px){.top-container{display: block;grid-template-columns: unset;}.column{width:100%;display:block;margin-bottom:20px}}.card{text-align:center;}.card_image img{width:100%}.card_body{padding:15px}.card_title{font-size: 14px;line-height: 19px;text-decoration: none;text-align:left;color: #333;}.card-heading{text-align: left;margin-bottom: 25px !important;}\r\n        <\/style>\r\n        <div class=\"row todays-top\">\r\n            <h3 class=\"card-heading\"> Recent Articles: <\/h3><div class=\"top-container\" id=\"todays-top\">\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n            var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText); \r\n            myObj.forEach(function(item) {\r\n            document.getElementById('todays-top').innerHTML += '<div class=\"column\"><div class=\"card\"><div class=\"card_image\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"'+item.image+'\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"card_body\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><h3 class=\"card_title\">'+item.title+'<\/h3><\/a><a href=\"'+item.url+'\">Read more<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>';\r\n            });\r\n            }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/api\/Drprem_blogs\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.videoWrapper{position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0}.videoWrapper iframe{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"videoWrapper\" id=\"video_7\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                document.getElementById(\"video_\"+myObj.id).innerHTML = myObj.embed_video_code;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            }\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            };\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/api\/Videos\/7\", true);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.send();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>France holds quality healthcare and it happens to be the prime attraction for many medical travelers across Europe.
