| Medical tourism (also known as medical travel, health travel, or global health) is the rapidly growing practice of traveling across international borders to obtain healthcare. Medical tourism is booming around the world and gaining acceptance. The aging boomer demographic is a great potential for this market.
In the past it was thought that patients travelled for cosmetic purposes. Over the last few years elective procedures such as knee and hip replacements, cardiac procedures and neurosurgery have been gaining ground. Medical Tourism is growing due to the high cost of medical care in first world nations, ease of long distance travel, and advances in information technology.
