This article is a travel topic.
Medical Tourism is a growing concept worldwide where people travel to another country for medical treatment at lower cost or to enjoy a vacation along with their treatment.
Typically, medical tourism involves residents of developed countries seeking medical treatment in developing countries; often the costs are much lower. Residents of countries with national health care schemes - such as Canada and Great Britain - sometimes travel overseas to avoid the long waiting times such schemes bring. Others may travel for cosmetic surgery not covered by insurance. However couples are increasingly seeking fertility treatments abroad. Others have sought more sophisticated surgery - such as cardiology treatments - overseas.
Availability of good low-cost medical services can also be a major factor in selecting a destination for retiring abroad.
