Medical tourism is the travel of individuals with health issues or those seeking to maintain good health to different countries or regions to receive treatment or preventive services. It is a phenomenon that involves and develops both the healthcare and tourism sectors. The benefits of medical tourism include patients receiving higher quality, affordable, and accessible healthcare services, increased revenue for healthcare facilities, promotion of tourism destinations, and increased employment opportunities. The challenges of medical tourism include patients encountering a foreign culture and language, differences in healthcare standards and legal regulations, the inability of patients to receive post-travel follow-up and care, and the potential negative impact of medical tourism on the health rights of local populations.
