France

It cannot be said that France is a popular country in terms of medical tourism, but its health care system is considered one of the best in the world. Private and state clinics are under constant control of state regulatory body conducting accreditation. Number of hospitals is very large and if you have made a decision to be treated in France it is worth choosing private clinics as it is much easier for a foreigner to get in. Staff in hospitals fluently speaks English, but good clinics provide translation services.

EU citizens may be treated in French hospitals for free or at a large discount provided that they have EHIC. The quality of services provided at French clinics may be compared with Germany, but the cost will be slightly lower. Both state and private clinics are facilitated with state-of-the-art equipment and doctors perform continuous advanced training, so they have no equal in the fields of cardiac surgery, oncologic diseases treatment, and musculoskeletal system disorders.
