Cardiology in Israel: The Expensive Option, and the One Reason to Pay It
A bypass in Israel runs around $25,000 — against $9,000–22,000 in Turkey and less again in Georgia. Israel is the costly end of this series, so the case for it has to be something the cheaper destinations can't do at all. Cardiogenetics is that case.
Eye Surgery in Georgia: A Dedicated Ophthalmology Hospital vs. a General One
Georgia has two verified clinics for ophthalmology — one is a 126-year-old dedicated eye hospital with a full laser and cataract platform, the other lists ophthalmology inside a general JCI hospital. Cataract surgery here also runs a fraction of UK private pricing.

Cardiology in Spain: 2-4 Weeks Instead of 6-18 Months
For a cardiac condition, the wait itself carries risk. Madrid and Barcelona's JCI-accredited centres schedule bypass and valve surgery within 2-4 weeks — against 6-18 months on the NHS — at roughly 30-40% below UK and German pricing.
Cardiology in Georgia: One Hospital With an Actual Cardiac Surgery Department
