Austria is one of the leading medical tourism destinations

Austria has one of the most powerful medical systems in Europe, and this has been once again proven by the proficient way it handled the coronavirus crisis in the past months.
According to the Commercial Bureau of the Austrian Embassy in Bucharest, for over 4.000 Romanian patients Austria is the first choice destination in terms of medical tourism, every year.
Moreover, Romanians choose Austria due to high trust in the medical system and excellent price-quality ratio.
