What is Medical Tourism or Health Travel?
Medical tourism (also called medical travel or health tourism) is a term used to describe the rapidly-growing practice of traveling to another country to obtain medical, dental and surgical treatment. More recently the phrase "Global Healthcare" has emerged, and may replace the earlier terms.
The concept of medical tourism is not a new one. S.p.a towns may be considered an early form of medical tourism, but the first recorded instance of medical tourism dates back thousands of years to when Greek pilgrims traveled from all over the Mediterranean to the small territory in the Saronic Gulf called Epidauria.
Why is Medical travel becoming more popular?
In many countries the waiting time for procedures, treatments, surgeries and even for a medical diagnosis, is very long. Also the costs of health and medical treatments are high and many patients are finding that insurance, either does not cover the surgery or imposes unreasonable restrictions on the choice of the facility or surgeon. More and more people are searching for alternatives and they realize you don't have to pay a fortune in order of receiving the best medical treatment; there are many advanced facilities around the world. The ease, affordability of international travel, and improvements in technology has brought many patients to travel abroad in order of receiving medical treatments.
Can I receive any kind of treatment?
Medical tourists may seek essential health care services such as cancer treatment, brain and transplant surgery, joint replacement and cardiac surgery as well as complementary or 'elective' services such as aesthetic treatments and cosmetic surgeries.
