What is Medical Tourism?
Medical tourism is defined as the concept of traveling to a destination away from home for obtaining medical care. Due to various reasons, such as better accessibility, lower cost, reduced wait time, etc., large number of people has started traveling to various places both within country and abroad.
Medical tourism is allowing patients to travel, unhesitatingly, to unknown countries for better treatment or quality treatment at lower cost. The vast implementation of internet & technological advances has significantly contracted the world and brought people closer with only a click away.
Over the past few years, the list of diagnosis / procedures is increasing and predominantly these procedures require follow-up care for weeks or involve surgical intervention. Key procedures include dental, cosmetic, orthopaedic, cardiovascular, transplants, ENT, eye care, neuro, urology, gastro, infertility, etc.
