Medical - Medical: Health Care
French term or phrase: "séjour médical en France"
I'm translating a brochure for a company specialised in "organisation de séjour médical en France." I'm tempted to put "medical stay" but I'm wondering if there could be another term.
As for context, this is aimed at high-end presumably foreign (non-French) clientèle. The company offers cars with chauffeur, the best hotels, tours of the area (Paris), etc along with selecting hospitals and the best doctors.
Thanks!

The category is called MEDICAL TOURISM (READ BELOW) :
Medical Tourism is also known as Medical Travel, Health Tourism, Health Travel, Medical Value Travel, Healthcare Abroad, Medical Overseas, Overseas Medical, Surgery Overseas, Medical Outsourcing and Offshore Medical. Medical tourism can be described as a healthy holiday. In most cases, medical tourists are not your average vacationers opting for medical or cosmetic treatment, just because it is available, but patients with significant health concerns for whom the cost of their health-care is a primary concern and the vacation aspect a secondary one. Indeed, someone needing medical or cosmetic treatment would not go abroad if the 'affordable healthcare' factor-quality of treatment, cost savings and wait time did not justify it. As long as you are healthy enough to travel, you stand to benefit from medical tourism’s offerings.

Medical Tourism is a combination of wellness and healthcare coupled with leisure and relaxation which is aimed at rejuvenating a person mentally, physically and emotionally, drawing away from his daily routine to a relaxed environment in an exotic location. Medical Tourism is the process of traveling abroad to receive superior medical, and cosmetic care by highly skilled surgeons at some of the most modern and state-of-the-art medical facilities in the world. This means that those who choose medical tourism are able to utilize the services of some of the top surgeons in the world, all while enjoying exotic locales and accommodations. Patients can put the money they are saving on the procedure into turning their journey into a magnificent, world-class retreat. For millions of patients, it is the only way to get the needed or desired medical treatment, without wiping out their entire life-savings.

This falls under the category of Medical Travel/Medical Tourism- although "trips" can be used, since these can be of an extended nature, it may be better to call them "stays"

agree  B D Finch: Better than "trip", which would imply that it was short. But visit TO, not "in".
3 hrs

medical sojourn


Explanation:
Medical visit or stay is perfectly acceptable, but if you are looking for a sophisticated, high level word, who can top "sojourn"?
