What is Medical Tourism?
In general terms, medical tourism means traveling outside of one’s immediate community for healthcare. Typically, people who travel for healthcare are seeking access to higher quality or cost savings.
When most people speak of medical tourism, they often refer to an individual searching for medical treatment outside their home country.
However, it also refers to traveling from one state to another for a medical procedure. In certain circumstances, it may not be necessary to leave the country.
The sad reality is that in some country’s healthcare is very expensive. Similarly, many people do not have adequate healthcare plans to cover their medical costs at an affordable rate. For example, in the United States of America, the cost of medical treatment has been skyrocketing. For this reason, many people have had to look for new options to save money on medical care.
One might ask, what countries are the best to travel to for a healthcare procedure? Well, certain countries are famous for specific operations. One country may be the go-to country for cosmetic surgery, while the other might be known for dentistry.
If done correctly, it is a safe, adventurous, and cost-effective way to access healthcare.
Why Has Medical Tourism Been Booming in Recent Times?
The fact that medical tourism is growing has not gone unnoticed. Many researchers have observed this and have given themselves the task of discovering the reasons behind it. Among the ones they have found, the following are worth mentioning:
- Price – Many people are willing to travel miles to save money on costly medical care in their home country. For people in the US, UK, and Australia, the price of medical treatment abroad can be anywhere from 20% to 80% lower than the cost in their nation of origin.
- Waiting Times – It is well known that when it comes to getting treatment in certain countries, you have to wait, sometimes for a month and in many cases several months. This is an obvious obstacle, especially if your problem is urgent. Faced with this scenario, it is normal to look for other options.
- Lack of Access to Healthcare – The healthcare market can have as many flaws as any other marketplace. And when a country does not have certain treatments or the process does not work, many see their lives endangered and choose to travel elsewhere for healthcare.
- Underinsured and Uninsured Individuals – Instead of paying high out-of-pocket costs, many people look to other countries for more affordable healthcare options.
