Medical tourism refers to the practice of traveling to another country to receive medical care. People often seek treatments that may be more affordable, quicker, or not available in their home country. Common procedures include cosmetic surgery, dental work, and specialized surgeries. Countries like Thailand, India, and Mexico have become popular destinations for medical tourists due to their advanced healthcare facilities and lower costs. Patients may also benefit from combining their medical treatment with a vacation, allowing them to recover in a more relaxing environment while exploring new cultures.
