Overview

A lot of people still do not fully understand or know what medical tourism is really all about. Medical tourism describes the process of traveling to other countries to avail of medical, cosmetic or dental care.

There are several reasons why people choose to move to other countries to get treated, such as the high cost of getting treatment in first world countries, the long waiting lists before you get treatment, the ease and convenience of modern travel, the added benefit of getting a vacation as you recover, the higher standards of care and modern technology availability in developing nations.

Fees in the United States and other big countries are influenced greatly by insurance contracts, administrative fees and labor overhead. Patients who travel abroad can expect to pay only 10% to 40% of the cost they are charged in the States.

Medical tourism now includes virtually any type of treatment, provided that the institution or hospital has adequate facilities, equipment and staff to supervise and conduct the treatment. Some of the most common procedures done to medical tourists include cosmetic surgery, dental work, eye surgery, heart surgery and organ transplant. Other procedures done include weight reduction surgery, physical therapy, alternative medicine, herbal medicine, psychotherapy, orthopaedics and cancer treatment.
