1. What Is Health Tourism?
Health tourism is the practice of traveling from one’s country of residence to another country for the purpose of protecting, improving, or restoring health, while benefiting from healthcare and tourism services. Individuals who travel for this purpose are referred to as health tourists.
In the past, health tourism generally involved patients traveling from developing countries to healthcare facilities in developed countries. Today, however, the direction of international patient mobility has changed. Due to affordable costs, high-quality healthcare services, and alternative treatment options, patients from developed countries also travel to other countries for medical treatment.
