Medical Tourism Bang! To future

          Health … this is a word which is very important for everyone of us. We all prefer to have a good health or healthy, we do not prefer to have disease or sick, that is why medical is what we are looking for.

          According to Horowitz, Rosensweig and Jones, “Medical tourism is becoming increasingly popular, and it is projected that as many as 750,000 Americans will seek offshore medical care in 2007. This phenomenon is driven by marketplace forces and occurs outside of the view and control of the organized healthcare system.” Medical tourism is a kind of tourism which let people travel and visit some place around the world to find and discover the way to fix their problem about health. Since, internet has been a tool to connect through the world, it is easier to find whatever you were seeking, and this is a kind of globalization also. The reason why people need to travel to other countries, because some countries have more knowledge or some common treatment that they may trust. The most popular kind of medical tourism is cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgery is different from plastic surgery, since plastic surgery is for heal or fix part of body to be normal, but cosmetic surgery is for beauty such as on nose, eyes, or face.

          All in all, medical tourism trend is going to keep increasing every year due to human preference, even for health or beauty.
