Globe Health Tours

Medical tourism is a boon to the average westerner. He can travel abroad to a hospital where he can avail of medical treatment/medical procedures under the care of skilled doctors trained in some of the most reputable medical colleges in the west. And all this in a hospital which has five star facilities; the treatment might also include recuperation at a holiday resort. There seem to be no losers ; not the hospitals, the patients, the travel agencies or the hoteliers.

But indeed there are losers. They are the patients in countries like India and Thailand who visit the public hospitals.

There will be repercussions in the not so distant future when the patients in such countries realize that they are losing out on medical care because of medical tourism.

Is it fair?.
