Our method
How we verify what we publish
Medical travel decisions are expensive to get wrong. So every fact on this site has to be traceable, dated and re-checked on a schedule.
Sources first
We prefer, in this order: official government texts, the hospital's own published information, peer-reviewed or industry surveys, and reputable press. Agency websites are used only to show that a claim exists, never as proof.
Each figure is stored with its source, the date we read it, and the date it expires. When a price passes its expiry date or a policy has not been checked for 90 days, the page says so.
Labels you will see
- Government cap, Hospital published, Survey, Patient account: the kind of price you are looking at.
- Last checked: the date someone on our team re-read the source.
- Not verified: we found the claim but could not confirm it. We say so rather than leave it out silently.
Hospital profiles
A hospital profile is published only after we have confirmed with the hospital that it accepts international patients, which languages its staff use, and how appointments work. Profiles are re-checked every six to twelve months.
Medical review
Pages that describe a treatment are reviewed by a named, licensed doctor before they go live. Until a reviewer has signed off, those pages stay unpublished.
