Medical tourism or medical travel, is the act of traveling to other countries to obtain medical, dental, and/or surgical care. The term was initially coined by travel agencies and the media as a catchall phrase to describe a rapidly growing industry where people travel to other countries to obtain medical care. The leisure aspect of traveling may be included on such a medical travel trip. It includes medical services (inclusive of elective procedure and complex specialized surgeries) like knee/hip replacement, heart surgery, dental procedures and different cosmetic surgeries. 5 Reasons Why Mexican Medical Tourism Is Popular & Why You Should Consider it 1) High cost of health care in North America, the ease and affordability of Mexican travel. 2) The Improvement of technology and standards of care in Mexico. 3) The Convenience in comparision to medical travel is the convenience in comparison to that of other countries. 4 ) Some countries that operate from a Socialist health-care system (Canada, England) are so taxed that it can take a considerable amount of time, to get needed medical care. 5) The time spent waiting for a procedure, such as a hip replacement, can be a year or more in Britain and Canada; however, in Mexico a patient could feasibly have an operation the day after their arrival.
