Medical Tourism
Medical tourism is a branch of tourism where individuals travel to other countries to access advanced medical facilities and seek treatment for their illnesses. This phenomenon gained attention when many patients were unable to access certain medical equipment and treatments in their own countries, or when individuals sought to reduce their medical expenses by traveling abroad.
