In the past, “medical tourists” — those who travel overseas to have procedures done — typically were wealthy. But with many consumers’ budgets strapped and the rising cost of medical care, a growing number of Americans are traveling elsewhere to have operations and procedures in an attempt to save money.An estimated 750,000 Americans traveled out of the United States for medical care in 2007, the most recent year for which data is available, according to the Deloitte Center for Health Care Solutions. The center expects that number to have spiked to 6 million people by this year.Countries like India, Thailand, and certain countries in Europe and Central America, have become medical tourism hot spots, because of the costeffective factor.
Really awesome information, I found here. Medical tourism in India has become a common form of vacationing. Though, medical tourism does not particularly relate to touring different places in India, it involves visiting distant places with an aim of taking health care services.
