Health Tourism
Health tourism or medical tourism is a branch of tourism in which a person travels to other countries with the aim of using advanced medical facilities and curing illness. This phenomenon arose and was noticed when many patients in their country did not have the possibility to use medical and treatment equipment or people traveled to other countries with the aim of reducing treatment costs
