Medical Tourism And Northeast

Medical tourism is a relatively new term for a lot of people reading this, but it’s an age old concept. Medical tourism refers to the activity of people traveling from one place to another to get the medical benefits which are not available at their own location. In its initial stages, it meant travelling from developing to the developed Nations in search of better health care and treatment facilities. However, nowadays, the tables have turned in favor or the developing Nations. People from the first world Nations now travel to third world countries to get equally good treatment at a much cheaper price, or for certain medical procedures which are illegal in their native countries. For example, a lot of tourists come in from Europe and Middle East to India for medical treatments at a lesser cost. While people from India go to Nepal for even cheaper procedures.
