Do you know about Medical Tourism?

Medical tourism refers to traveling to another country for medical treatment, often seeking procedures that are more affordable, accessible, or advanced than those available locally. Patients may seek treatments ranging from elective surgeries to specialized care. Factors driving medical tourism include cost savings, shorter wait times, and access to innovative treatments. However, it raises ethical considerations regarding quality of care, patient safety, and potential exploitation, necessitating careful regulation and oversight.
