In a global economy why not global medical options? Think of the benefits; Why should a patient wait months for heart surgery due to government regulations on healthcare when there is an option to go elsewhere without sacrificing quality or safety; Or, why should a patient have hip surgery performed at a sub optimal facility when there is a choice for the procedure to be performed, with a minimally invasive technique, by a highly renowned surgeons at a state-of-the-art facility. Or why should a patient have cataract surgery performed by their local Ophthalmologist, when they have the option to have their surgery performed by an Ophthalmologic Surgeon with an international reputation. These are some valid considerations for medical tourism.
Medical Tourism is an expanding global industry which caters to the medical tourist (patient) who may want a higher quality of care, access to procedures not available to them, require immediate care and not want to wait due to dealing with frustrations of government regulations or those who require surgery and/or rehabilitation who just want a choice.
