Hi,
Leisure travel or travel to various destinations for purposes like spending vacation, leisure, religious reasons, pilgrimage, to visit someone known, business etc is known to many of us commonly, but medical tourism is one thing which is not much heard of.

What is medical tourism?
Medical tourism means traveling other country for treatment abroad. There can be various reasons for medical tourism. Low costs, no waiting time are the main reasons and sometime reasons mat be like technology is not available in the parent country (e.g: cyber-knife is still nor offered in many countries) OR doctors in the home country may find the treatment risky.

Medical tourism is very popular among uninsured, retired people and every years more than 1 lakh people visit other countries for health care services that include dental treatment, weight loss surgeries, cosmetic surgery, orthopedic, cardiac care etc. If you want to learn more about medical tourism follow the blogger at Medical Tourism Co blog.

Making mind for treatment abroad is the first but very difficult task for medical tourism and selecting the destination, doctor and clinic is the next difficult task. For any individual its very much frustrating and time consuming task to research on which country, doctor or clinic to choose and make sure if all is at par standards there. Best way to get rid of this is to ask someone who have experience with medical tourism or contact a medical tourism company.
