Medical tourism

Medical tourism (also called medical travel, health tourism or global healthcare)
It’s travelling across international borders to obtain health care.
Services
Includes elective procedures as well as complex specialized surgeries such as joint replacement (knee/hip), cardiac surgery, dental surgery, fertility treatments, and cosmetic surgeries (such as Rhinoplasty ("nose job") or Liposuction).
Individuals with rare genetic disorders may travel to another country where treatment of these conditions is better understood. However, virtually every type of health care, including psychiatry, alternative treatments, convalescent care and even burial services are available.
Who seek cosmetic and other elective surgery procedures (mostly people between the ages of 45-65), rather than spending the recovery period after surgery in their homes, these clients will prefer to spend time in a resort environment where all of their needs are met.
These type clients could afford the higher prices for cosmetic surgery in their own country, but they would rather go abroad to receive treatment. Many clients will travel abroad with a spouse or a group of friends.
