Medical tourism, also called medical travel, is the practice of traveling to another country for medical care.
Medical tourism typically involves elective procedures, such as cosmetic surgery, that are not covered by insurance. Patients often choose to travel for care because they can receive high-quality treatment at a lower cost than they would at home.

Some countries, such as Thailand and India, have developed a reputation for providing excellent medical care at a fraction of the cost of care in developed countries. As a result, they have become popular destinations for medical tourists.
Key Trends
There are a few key trends in medical tourism technology:
- Online Consultations: More and more medical tourism companies are offering online consultations with doctors and medical professionals. This allows potential patients to get a better idea of what their options are and what procedures might be right for them.
- Virtual Reality: Some medical tourism companies are beginning to use virtual reality technology to give potential patients a realistic view of what their procedure will be like. This can help to ease any anxiety about the unknown and make the decision-making process easier.
- Mobile Apps: There are a number of mobile apps available that can help potential patients compare prices, find doctors, and book appointments. This makes the entire process more convenient and allows patients to make informed decisions about their care.

Key Drivers
The major drivers of this market are the increasing cost of healthcare, lack of health insurance, and long waiting periods for treatments in developed countries.
Lack of health insurance is another major driver of medical tourism. This is because the cost of health insurance is rising at a faster pace than wages. In addition, many insurance plans do not cover the cost of certain treatments, such as cosmetic surgery. This forces patients to pay for their treatment out of their own pockets, which can be very expensive.
Long waiting periods for treatments is another factor driving patients to seek medical care abroad. In the United Kingdom, patients have to wait an average of 18.2 weeks for elective surgery. This is because the NHS is understaffed and there is a shortage of hospital beds. This problem is also seen in other developed countries, such as Canada and Australia.

Restraints & Challenges
There are several key restraints and challenges in the medical tourism market. One of the key restraints is the lack of standardization in the medical tourism industry. This lack of standardization makes it difficult for patients to compare prices and quality of care among providers. In addition, there is a lack of transparency in the medical tourism industry, which can make it difficult for patients to make informed decisions about their care.
Another key challenge in the medical tourism market is the lack of insurance coverage for medical tourism services. This lack of insurance coverage can make it difficult for patients to afford medical tourism services. In addition, there is a lack of regulation in the medical tourism industry, which can make it difficult for patients to find reputable and safe providers.
