Traveling outside one’s country of residence in order to receive medical treatment. The rapid growth in this industry has garnered the attention of policymakers, researchers, and the media.
The term originally refers to patients travelling to developed countries from less developed ones in search of therapies not offered in their native country.
But today patient mobility is changing both qualitatively and quantitatively, as people are traveling from richer to less-developed countries as well, in order to avail medical treatments and health services.
The cause of this shift is mostly the relative affordability of treatments in less developed countries, the accessibility of cheap flights, and greater marketing and online consumer information about the availability of medical services all contribute to this change.
Medical Tourism in India is a rapidly growing Industry. This particular industry started gaining momentum at the beginning of the last decade. More and more private hospitals started reaching out to other countries for serving & treating their patients.
Types of Medical Tourism
Majorly there are two different types of Medical Tourism, as follows:
1. International Medical Tourism
a. Inbound Medical Tourism – People traveling to a country for treatment is called Inbound Medical Tourism.
b. Outbound Medical Tourism – People traveling to another country for the purpose of medical treatment is called Outbound Medical Tourism.
2. Domestic Medical Tourism
The last one is defined as the process when a patient travels within their country of residence for medical purposes. It can be from one city to the other, or from state to state.
