Germany and Medical Tourism

There are not many queues in the German hospital and there are plenty of beds. It takes a day or two to get the MRI and maybe two weeks to get a hip replacement. Often, patients will stay longer time at the hospital in Germany – ten to twelve days are common at a hip operation. On top of that, about three weeks of rehabilitation.
