South African medical tourism is growing in a highly specialised way. What was once the destination for safaris and surf has now become the go-to place for massages and metabolic resets alike. South Africa is growing in demand for medical procedures, including for IVF treatments, cosmetic surgery, reconstructive surgery and dentistry.
And, with celebs raising the profiles of clinics-and-spas-in-one, more and more facilities cater for wellness retreats alongside more complicated procedures like body contouring, liposuction, bariatric surgery and weight loss injections.
