The rising demand for low-cost medical treatments drives the growth of the global health tourism market.

“Rising trend of globalization”
Globalization has significantly impacted the growth of the health tourism market by enabling consumers to access high-quality and cost-effective healthcare treatments.

What restraints the growth of the global health tourism market?
“Problems in the transmission of medical records”
The medical record transfer problem poses significant challenges to the health tourism market. The lack of seamless transfer of medical records between healthcare providers and countries hampers the continuity and quality of care for patients seeking treatment abroad. Without proper access to complete medical histories, doctors face difficulties in making accurate diagnoses and providing appropriate emergency treatments. This limitation inhibits the growth of health tourism as patients and healthcare providers prioritize safety and continuity of care over seeking treatment in unfamiliar healthcare systems.
