2. Medical tourism Medical tourism can be broadly defined as provision of ‘cost effective’ private medical care in collaboration with the tourism industry for patients needing surgical and other forms of special treatment. Medical tourism is today's hottest global phenomenon in the healthcare sector. With hundreds of thousands medical tourists worldwide, the industry is undeniably on a rapid growth. It is estimated to be a hundred billion dollar industry now and the figures keep on growing.

3. Tourism industry This process is being facilitated by the corporate sector involved in medical care as well as the tourism industry - both private and public. Medical tourism refers to traveling to other countries to obtain medical, dental, and surgical treatment. At the same time they could also tour, and fully experience the attractions of the countries they visit. Exorbitant costs of healthcare in industrialized nations, ease and affordability of international travel, favorable currency exchange rates in the global economy, rapidly improving technology and standards of care in many countries of the world, and most importantly proven safety of healthcare in select foreign nations have all led to the rise of medical tourism.

4. Travel and tourism Medical tourism affects not only the healthcare industry but also the travel and tourism industries. Hence, more and more countries are interested to be in the list of top destination countries of medical tourists. India is offering the lowest cost, Cuba speaks of personalized service and Canada takes pride in their medical expertise and high grade facilities.

5. Patients consider a plane ride to undergo medical procedure because of several reasons. One is cost. In the United States for example, a simple surgery can be really expensive but the same surgery can cost only a fraction when done in another country. In India perhaps, an American may spend only one tenth of the usual cost of the procedure.

6. Another factor why medical tourism is popular is the specialization. One country may be more advanced in a certain procedure than other countries. Costa Rica is famous for dental works while Cuban doctors are best when it comes to curing night blindness.

7. Time is also a major consideration especially if patients need the operation immediately. Wealthy countries are known for the long wait in medical procedures while most medical tourism destination countries are amenable with immediate operations. Life is just too precious to waste because doctors are busy and hospitals can't accommodate you. If the condition is also painful, medical tourism is a great option than to wait and suffer.

8. More and more people are traveling abroad as an affordable, enjoyable, and safe alternative to having treatment in their home countries. Medical tourists are generally residents of the industrialized nations of the world and primarily come from The United States, Canada, Great Britain, Western Europe, Australia, and The Middle East.

9. But more and more, people from many other countries of the world are seeking out places where they can combine vacationing and obtaining their medical care at an affordable cost. Non resident Indians form a big group of medical tourists to India.
