About Janet Bristeir
Many of us are thinking about New Year’s resolutions and perhaps updating our bucket lists.
If you’re considering surgery abroad, you’re not alone.
Whether you've been waiting months or years for a specific procedure, medical tourism might be something you've heard about.
I first learned about medical tourism back in 2010 at a conference on the Ethics of Medical Tourism.
Since then, I’ve attended several more conferences.
However, I became increasingly concerned about the lack of unbiased resources for people exploring the idea of surgery abroad.
To help guide those considering surgery overseas, I wrote Medical Tourism - Surgery for Sale.
The book offers tools to make informed decisions about choosing the right facility and destination.
This year, I've updated the book to include post-COVID insights and have created a companion online course, Navigating Medical Tourism.

My Target Audience
People looking to have surgery abroad, so they can; save money, expediate the wait time for surgery, or get a surgery that they have been denied at home for some reason.
Why Invite me?
I have a background in Patient Safety & Quality Assurance in Healthcare. I worked as an operating room nurse and have a wealth of experience in ensuring patient safety. Amongst the horror stories of surgery abroad there are also many success stories. Spending time researching facilities and asking relevant questions will help ensure a successful outcome. I have spoken at several national and international conferences on aspects of patient safety.
