THE DO'S AND DONT OF MEDICAL TOURISM
Medical tourism
is the concept of traveling domestically or internationally for a medical procedure. Cost is often a major consideration, as medical care in some countries can be significantly cheaper than in others, particularly in the United States. However, there are risks involved with medical tourism, including the potential for complications and the need for appropriate preoperative and postoperative care. It is important to research the surgeon and facility beforehand, and to ensure that there are appropriate arrangements for care both during and after the procedure. It is also important to note that while there are standards in place to ensure safe and quality care in the United States, this may not be the case in other countries. Therefore, patients must take extra precautions to ensure that they are receiving safe and quality care.
