Cross-border healthcare refers to the practice of individuals seeking medical services in a country different from their own. This can occur for various reasons, including lower costs, shorter wait times, or access to specialized treatments not available in their home country. Patients may travel to countries with advanced healthcare systems or specific expertise in certain medical fields. This phenomenon is facilitated by globalization and advancements in communication and transportation. Many countries have established regulations to accommodate foreign patients, ensuring quality care and safety. Popular destinations for cross-border healthcare include India, Thailand, and Mexico, where services often cater to international patients.
