Latvia has been a popular medical tourism end destination for a long time due to the country’s territory being rich in natural resources and healing mineral water springs, which have been used to heal the population for centuries, also attracting the attention of foreigners.

By the end of the 18th century, an extensive network of sanatoriums had been established in Latvia. Many scientific research laboratories were also in operation. At the start of the 20th century, the number of medical tourists visiting Latvia reached 60,000-70,000 a year. After the Second World War, the number of patients treated by sanatoriums reached two million, which employed a large number of medical personnel. In Latvia, demand for qualified medical staff has always been high, which explains why medical education has always been of a high level in this country.

Now every year, Latvia is visited by over five million medical tourists from Scandinavia, Russia, Western Europe and other countries. The landscaped environment, convenient transport and outstanding education opportunities are also attractive to budding doctors from countries all over the world, who are completing their medical studies in Latvia.
