Yea not everywhere is equipped to do all types of operations.

Shit, in America I know someone that just wants a blood work type test done in the largest city in the State. Can't even find anyone that knows shit all about the test. Several doctors refused to draw the blood and send it out of state. Test can be done at Johns Hopkins (or other 1st rate places around the globe) but hasn't trickled down to 50 states yet. Doctors stay in their lane and if you want a specialist at the cutting edge you'll have to travel even in America.
