Medical travel is also known as medical tourism or health tourism. Medical travel can be defined as the process of traveling to a foreign country to receive medical services. Patients may decide to get medical services abroad for many reasons including to get treatment that is cheaper, to receive care from a healthcare provider who can share with them about culture and languages, and to get treatment that may be unavailable in their country.
