Medical Tourism Is The Modern Way Of Treating Yourself

span>Share:

Over a period of time countries of the world have come together and blurred the restrictions of boundaries. Today, all of these countries interact with each other for mutual necessities and requirements. One example of this concept has been the development of the Outsourcing industry where major work is being outsourced from the developed nations to the developing ones. Extending the same concept is the idea of Medical Tourism. As the name suggests, this is a form of tourism which is done for the purpose of medical treatments. However, against conventional belief, people from the developing world are not moving towards the developed countries for critical surgeries and treatments like cancer treatment. This would be the ideal belief because the developed countries have the resources and technology of the highest pedestal. The real data, though, suggests that the flow of tourists suggests a trend which is reverse. In other words, tourists are moving towards developing countries for such treatments as stem cell therapy, CCSVI treatment and weight loss surgery among others.

So, what are those reasons which make medical tourism a highly popular concept? Here are few of them:

1. COST: The first, and the foremost, reason for the popularization of medical tourism is the low cost that is on offer in the developing countries. Statistics show a wide ranging difference between the costs in countries like USA and UK and the ones available in popular medical tourist destinations like Mexico and India. The price difference can easily justify the cost one incurs in travelling to these destinations, including the cost of boarding and lodging.

2. QUALITY: When one speaks about Cancer Treatment or even a weight loss surgery, all of these are critical ones and need precision on part of the medical staff and the doctors. Therefore, no one would risk one's life to save on cost. However, these destinations have managed to develop path breaking skills and are known to make use of the latest technology. This makes the treatment, available at these destinations, come at par with the one available in the developed countries.

3. NO WAITING TIME: The developed countries also have a long queue of patients for non emergency treatments and hence are required to wait for long periods for their treatment. However, such treatment, in case of medical tourism, is planned in advance. The patients are not required to wait for long periods before his / her treatment procedure is initiated.

Therefore, all of these points make such tourism, for medical purposes, a prudent option. Be it for stem cell therapy or CCSVI treatment, it can prove to be useful in all these cases.
