Medical tourism is the intentional act of traveling internationally to seek medical care, surgery, or advanced healthcare services that are more affordable, accessible, or advanced than those at home, often accompanied by the opportunity for travel and leisure. Motivations include cutting-edge treatment, shorter wait times, lower costs, and access to world-leading specialists or facilities. With digital innovations, global hospital accreditation, and trusted platforms like MyHospitalNow, medical travel is now safe, transparent, and tailored for both comfort and outcomes.
