Medical Tourism isn’t only about illnesses. It can also be for aesthetic purposes, such as facelifts, breast augmentations, rhinoplasties (nose jobs), and so on.

Medical tourism is growing at an amazingly fast rate. The world is at the fingertip of the health vacationer since there are destinations offering state-of-the-art healthcare. Medical tourism isn’t only about illnesses. It can also be for aesthetic purposes, such as facelifts, breast augmentations, rhinoplasties (nose jobs), and so on. Another form of medical tourism is reproductive tourism. An increasing amount of Americans are outsourcing pregnancy to India and Indian women are becoming surrogate mothers to carry American babies. Did you know that India ranks as one of the world's best medical destinations? The country has advanced medical centers and doctors who speak several languages. Other countries such as Colombia, Cuba, India, the Philippines, and Singapore have attracted a large amount of foreigners due to affordability, reliability of health care, and being attractive vacation spots. Medical tourists tend to choose their destinations based on price, local tourist attractions, the quality of the healthcare organizations and equipment, and/or finding out whether surgeons have been trained in the USA. However, that is not enough. For example, even if there is an accreditation system in the US, there are still discrepancies in the quality of care among US hospitals. Examples include differences in the controls used to prevent complications such as hospital-acquired infections, prolonged hospitalizations, medication errors involving a certain medicine’s different trade names, etc. Smart consumers must ask themselves many questions, but the answers to these questions can be hard to find due to the absence of uniformly accepted, international standard for measuring the quality of healthcare.
