Looking for an exciting travel destination? We suggest Kathmandu. You can tour the mighty Himalayas. Visit a Buddhist monastery. And, on the way out of town, treat yourself to a new kidney.

This morning, Dr. Amit Kumar was arrested in Nepal. In his pocket he had about $250K, in Dollars, Euros and Rupees, which apparently is his take in a medical syndicate accused of buying the livers of impoverished Indians and transplanting them into visiting tourists.

All around the world, the transplant biz is booming. In dozens of countries, you can get the organ of your choice, often for half the price of having the procedure done in the States. And there’s no frustrating wait for donors, as there’s plenty of impoverished locals eager to trade their body parts for cash.

It’s a new industry called “medi-tourism.” You can google up dozens of sites that will not only get you a new organ, but will treat like royalty. Globehealthtours.com features the image of a golfer on its home page, suggesting you can take in a few rounds at the Singapore Country Club before you go in for your surgery. At treatmentabroad.net, you can pick your procedure and your destination, allowing you to see the sights before you see the doctor.

And it gets even better for simpler procedures. A tummy tuck in Tunisia is just $2500, including a week’s stay in a 5-star hotel with your own private concierge. Lasik surgery at the Phuket Laser Center includes a free week of spa treatments. And, if you have your hair transplant done at Rio’s Hospital De Plastica, you can have your bald patch covered in the morning and be flirting with the girls on Copacabana beach by nightfall.

Who says Americans don’t enjoy “universal health care”?
