Medical tourism, whereby patients travel to a different state or country for the enhancement or restoration of their health, is a worldwide, multibillion-dollar industry
According to Future Market Insights, the cost of a high-quality therapy is lower in developing nations like Thailand and Malaysia than it is in industrialised nations. Despite the cheap cost of treatments in underdeveloped nations, the quality of the process is not affected because there are resources available for comparatively less money. This causes an inflow of individuals to use the healthcare systems within the country.
Reduced airfare, growing earnings in developing nations, and an increase in demand for high-quality healthcare in these nations are some of the significant factors that have helped the intrabound medical tourism industry grow. This will benefit the businesses operating in the region and help the government achieve its objective of developing the medical tourism sector.
