If you have never heard of medical tourism, you are not alone. Technically, the term means traveling across any international border for a
medical procedure.
This could mean a doctor’s check-up and prescription re-fill in
Mexico, a special fertility procedure for a hopeful couple in
Singapore or, the ultimate girl’s night out, “mommy makeovers” in
Thailand.
Procedures that used to be done at home are now being performed by medical professionals in foreign countries, often
third world countries, for a greatly reduced price.
People have been traveling abroad for centuries, from pilgrimages to shrines or other holy places in hopes of miraculous healing to traveling to spas or sanitariums in order to bathe in the healing waters. In fact, at the turn of the century, it was the standard treatment for tuberculosis patients to travel to
Arizona in hopes that the dry heat would heal them.
Modern medical tourism saw an upswing in the 1980’s and 1990’s when health care costs started to spiral out of control. At that time, it was often called “tooth tourism” because many travelers went in search of discount dental procedures. The concept has spread to virtually every area of
medicine.
