Q: What is Medical Tourism? A: Medical Tourism is a growing concept worldwide where people travel to another country for medical treatment at lower cost or to enjoy a vacation along with their treatment.
Typically, medical tourism involves residents of developed countries seeking medical treatment in developing countries; often the costs are much lower. Residents of countries with national health care schemes - such as Canada and Great Britain - sometimes travel overseas to avoid the long waiting times such schemes bring. Others may travel for cosmetic surgery not covered by insurance. However couples are increasingly seeking fertility treatments abroad. Others have sought more sophisticated surgery - such as cardiology treatments - overseas. Availability of good low-cost medical services can also be a major factor in selecting a destination for retiring abroad. Contrary to common perceptions, patients from developing countries travel to developed or other developing countries for advanced and or relatively cheaper cost of medical care.
Medical Tourism is also known as Medical Travel, Health Tourism, Surgical Tourism, Health Travel, Medical Outsourcing, Foreign Treatment, and Advanced Foreign Treatment.
Q: Why would you travel overseas for treatment? A: First of all, one should be healthy enough to travel abroad.
Most obvious benefit is lower cost of treatment.
Second obvious benefit is for advanced medical treatment or care that may not be or may be available locally. Most travelers incorporate a short holiday along with the treatment as these also tend to be cheaper than vacations in their home country.
Medical tourists sometimes can avail themselves of the best doctors and hospitals of a foreign country. The hospitals/clinics in medical tourist destinations may also be credentialed in first world countries and doctors are sometimes graduates of first-world medical schools.
Medical tourism also gives people a chance to incorporate local therapies — India's yoga and Ayruvedic medicine, Thai massage, traditional Chinese medicine with their ongoing treatments.
