What Is Medical Tourism and Heath Tourism?

Medical tourism or Health Tourism (also called medical travel) is the term mainly populated by transport agencies or agents to inform the rapidly growing work of roaming abroad to other countries to acquire medical treatment. It as well refers critically to the work of health care providers wandering internationally to broach health care facilities.
As per the latest survey "Medical Tourism in developing countries like India, Poland, and Mexico", medical tourism in developing countries has emerged as the top growing section of the tourism industry, despite the global economic downturn. The medical tourism industry holds enormous prospective and will be mainly driven by improving tourism & medical infrastructure, increasing accessibility of quality health care services, and low health care costs in developing countries. Many factors such as low cost, government support, and high private investments have contributed to a remarkable growth in the medical tourism market in developing countries.
