  2. M Y T H 1 : M E D I C A L T R A V E L L E A D S T O B A N K R U P T C Y "The travel cost could raise your medical bill to the point where you can face bankruptcy. " It is true that you will have to bear travel expense from your pocket but the overall expenditure on a medical tour would be much lower than the cost of treatment in your home country. The minimum saving in a medical trip is 50% and this much money is more than sufficient to fund your travel expenses.

How could you say that people in India, Singapore, and Thailand are getting inferior quality medical services? There is no fact in this allegation as there are other reasons behind India and other countries offering quality healthcare services at affordable price. Most hospitals in developing countries are accredited by Joint Commission International (JCI) and International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) that set benchmarks for quality healthcare services.

M Y T H 3 : S U R G E O N S O V E R S E A S A R E N O M A T C H F O R T H O S E I N T H E U S A N D U K This myth is busted from the evidence that more than 10,000 overseas medical experts including doctors and surgeons are employed by US hospitals and clinics. Accredited medical institutions including hospitals and laboratories employ only highly learned and experienced medical staff.

Medical tourism in Asia is growing at a rapid pace. Overseas hospitals are competing with each other and with those in the US and UK to get more business. In this situation, it is hard to believe that overseas hospitals could attract medical tourist with substandard services.

  6. M Y T H 5 : M E D I C A L T O U R I S M I S A L L A B O U T C O S M E T I C S U R G E R Y Cosmetic surgery is getting popular widely. Surgeries like rhinoplasty, facelift are more popular among medical tourists but it won’t be justice to the medical tourism industry to limit it only to plastic surgery. Overseas hospitals provide quality healthcare for everything from a major bypass to a minor facelift. Also, there are alternative therapies available in overseas countries. Ayurveda, homeopathy, and naturopathy have emerged as more popular treatment options for chronic ailments like diabetes and hypertension. These therapies are suitable for people of all ages and they are safe.

Today, more and more countries are opening their hospitals to welcome medical tourists. Medical tourism is the start of a global healthcare industry.
