Sir John Charnley developed the modern hip replacement in 1960s, transforming arthritis treatment globally
The UK was among the first to adopt robotic-assisted orthopaedic surgery in the early 2000s
In the early 2000s, India became a global hub for orthopaedic medical tourism, offering world-class joint replacement and spine surgeries at a fraction of the cost compared to Western countries
For many patients, joint replacement surgery offers relief from chronic pain and restores mobility. However, recovery can be long and challenging, involving multiple consultations and evaluations that can be frustrating. In the UK alone, over 200,000 joint replacement surgeries, such as knee and hip replacements, are performed annually, with numbers expected to rise by 40% by 2060.
While joint replacement surgeries can significantly improve patients' lives, many countries face limitations such as long wait times, causing patients to miss the optimal time for surgery. Medical tourism addresses this by offering shorter waitlists and access to advanced treatments that may not be available at home.
Seeking treatment abroad offers several benefits. Joint replacement surgeries in countries like Switzerland, India, South Korea, Germany, Mexico, and Costa Rica are often more affordable than in patients' home countries. Additionally, patients have access to state-of-the-art medical facilities and renowned orthopaedic surgeons. Robotic-assisted surgeries, for example, have been shown to reduce complications by 40% and hospital re-admissions by 52%, compared to traditional procedures.
Patients traveling for surgery also benefit from advanced imaging technologies, including 3D CT, X-ray, and MRI machines, ensuring accurate pre- and post-operative assessments. Leading surgeons use high-quality materials for implants, such as titanium-niobium nitride coatings (the 'Gold Knee'), which are hypoallergenic and reduce the need for future replacements.
3D printing is also revolutionizing joint replacement surgery. Custom implants made from materials like cobalt-chromium alloys and titanium address issues like bone loss and deformities. Pain-reduction techniques further speed up recovery.

Cancer is a challenging journey for every patient, requiring strength, support, and a dedicated medical team to improve their chances of recovery. From treatment difficulties to exhausting side effects, quality care is crucial for every cancer patient.
Seeking cancer treatment abroad offers numerous advantages. For instance, a recent study found that cancer drugs in the U.S. cost twice as much as in other high-income countries. Patients abroad also gain access to advanced treatments, cutting-edge research, and internationally recognized specialists, all with shorter waiting times and lower costs.
Global breakthroughs, like Japan’s boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) and Italy’s engineered immune cell therapies, offer patients access to the latest innovations. As experimental treatments continue to evolve worldwide, medical tourism ensures patients can benefit from the most advanced options.
Over the past decade, the 5-year survival rate for cancer patients has increased by 15%, thanks to improvements in early detection, personalized therapies, screening, surgery, and immunotherapy treatments like CAR-T cell therapy and checkpoint inhibitors.
Countries like Germany, USA, India, Switzerland are global leaders in cancer care, offering innovative treatments that have extended survival and improved quality of life for many patients. Studies show that 60-80% of cancer survivors are living longer, healthier lives.

Cross Borders is rooted in the UK, the historic birthplace of the world's first in vitro fertilisation dating back to 1978
The USA made the first advancements in egg and embryo freezing (cryopreservation) in the 1990s
Spain’s liberal policies on egg donation and surrogacy (especially compared to other European countries) makes it an attractive destination
Recent statistics reveal that 1 in 6 women worldwide face infertility, with 1 in 10 couples unable to conceive even after two years of trying. The path to parenthood can be challenging, with limited treatment options, long wait times, and high costs impacting the chances of successful conception. Medical tourism offers new opportunities, providing access to advanced fertility treatments globally to make this journey more hopeful and achievable.
One such treatment available through Cross Borders is Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT), commonly used with IVF to screen embryos for genetic abnormalities before implantation. This increases IVF success rates by up to 20%, especially for couples with genetic disorders or recurrent miscarriages.
Another option is Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), a specialized form of IVF where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg. ICSI has a fertilization success rate of 70% to 85%, making it a breakthrough for couples dealing with male infertility.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is recommended for couples with mild fertility issues. While success rates are lower (10%-20% per cycle), it is a less invasive and cost-effective alternative to IVF and ICSI.
Egg donation offers some of the highest success rates in fertility treatments, with live birth rates ranging from 50% to 60% per cycle, especially for women with diminished ovarian reserve or those using eggs from younger donors.
Through our partnerships with leading fertility centres globally, Cross Borders offers access to these advanced treatments, ensuring high success rates. Our premier fertility centres feature the latest innovations in reproductive medicine, including microfluidics technology, which enhances IVF by improving sperm selection and increasing sperm viability by up to 90%.
By choosing Cross Borders, you gain access to world-class fertility care, expert guidance, and fast-tracked appointments. We provide second opinions from trusted specialists and seamless coordination, ensuring you’re supported throughout your fertility journey with confidence and hope.

Taking a mini retirement to focus on Ayurveda, spa treatments, and holiday trips can be incredibly beneficial for both mental and physical well-being. In today’s fast-paced world, chronic stress, burnout, and fatigue have become all too common. Studies show that 40% of workers experience high levels of stress, with 42% feeling burned out frequently. A mini retirement offers a perfect opportunity to break free from daily pressures and invest in self-care. Ayurveda, with its holistic approach to health, is particularly effective in combating stress. Research indicates that 75% of participants in Ayurvedic wellness programs report significant reductions in stress levels, fatigue, and anxiety. Additionally, Ayurvedic treatments like panchakarma (detoxification) and massage therapies can help restore energy and balance, supporting long-term mental clarity and emotional health.
Taking a break for a wellness retreat also has proven physical benefits. Spa treatments such as hydrotherapy, massages, and yoga can stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to lowered blood pressure and improved sleep. In fact, 80% of individuals who participate in regular spa visits report feeling more relaxed and rejuvenated. Combining Ayurveda with spa therapies in a peaceful holiday setting amplifies the restorative effects. These retreats can also improve immunity, enhance skin health, and promote detoxification. Beyond the physical and mental health benefits, a mini retirement that includes wellness treatments allows for emotional healing, helping individuals reset and approach life with a fresh perspective. With the added benefit of exploring new cultures and environments, these trips provide a complete reset. Patients who take time off for wellness and relaxation not only return healthier but also report increased productivity and higher life satisfaction post-retirement. Given the growing popularity of wellness tourism, many travellers now seek these healing experiences in places like India, Thailand, and Bali, where the combination of Ayurveda and spa treatments provides the ultimate retreat.
Medical tourism for wellness centers and alternative treatments also offers convenience and accessibility, as patients can bypass the long waitlists in their home country and combine their well-being treatments with a vacation. What’s more, there is more discretion and a focus on individualized care.
With medical tourism, patients can explore diverse treatments that are not approved in their home country and improve their post-operative experience for faster recoveries and less anxiety. These benefits can be enjoyed with a service like Cross Borders.
At Cross Borders, we understand the importance of quick recovery and pain management after surgery. We know that it’s always difficult for patients to handle the pain, depression, and mood swings that occur after a tough surgery, and we are committed to making it better through wellness, even if your home country does not offer this.
Our goal is to provide a wholesome approach to rejuvenation and healing, taking advantage of the services of many countries like India, Thailand, China, Costa Rica, and more. We draw upon the rich traditions of Ayurvedic medicine, which we have gotten from India, and create wellness packages that combine traditional treatments with modern medicine. This allows you to experience health and wellness as you recover from treatments and surgery.
Aside from post-operative treatment, if you’re looking to escape from the bustling day-to-day and simply have a retreat, then you can come to Cross Borders. We offer spa-centric getaways with pure relaxation and feelings of well-being for the patients. Our retreats will help you balance your mind, body, and spirit.
