Seattle, WA -- (SBWire) -- 10/01/2019 --Medical tourism is when people travel abroad to acquire particular medical treatment. This is typically due to unavailability of the treatment, quality of treatment, or cost difference in one's own country. Previously in medical tourism, people from emerging economies used to travel to developed countries to get high-end medical treatment. However, the scenario has changed in the recent past with people from developed countries traveling economically emerging countries to avail cost-effective treatment. Moreover, certain treatment are not legally practiced in few countries, which leads to migration of people from one country to another to get better medical procedure. Domestic medical tourism involves people traveling different cities or states of the same country. In the recent past medical tourism services are available in all fields of healthcare including dentistry, fertility, psychiatry, convalescent care, burial services, and alternative medicines.
