Medical Tourism and Health Tourism are on the rise: everything from stem cell treatments, cardiac care, hip and knee replacements to plastic surgery, wellness, anti-stress and relaxation treatments. Medical care has become a global enterprise, where sophisticated procedures or specialized medical treatments are being� performed in highly developed countries such as the US, England, Germany, India and Thailand, proving that patients will travel far and wide to seek procedures that although available in their home countries, either because of cost or expediency, feel it is worth travelling so far away for treatment.
Now it is also becoming popular to seek treatments in even undeveloped countries and it is easy to see why; Medical and Dental care in the developed countries is expensive. For elective treatments not covered by insurance it is more economical to travel abroad, especially when packaged with a vacation. Depending on the procedure, recovery should play a significant portion of the decision to seek treatments abroad.
