Topping the medical tourism commerce is India, with Thailand and Malaysia close behind. India's medical tourism commerce grows around thirty per cent annually, due to an aggressive marketing plan that focuses on comprehensive package tours.
Thailand's main institute is Bangkok's renowned Bumrungrad Hospital, which combines deluxe accommodations with first-class treatment. Bumrungrad Hospital claims to treat more patients per year than any other facility in the world. Meanwhile Malaysia promotes its many neighboring tourist destinations to match competitive rates, internationally-trained doctors and excellent facilities.
The medical tourism commerce has emerged in response to the incredibly huge costs of having most surgical procedures performed in countries like the United States, Britain and Japan. Without medical insurance, most Westerners have no chance of being able to afford treatment, and sometimes even with insurance the costs are much higher than those offered by Asia's medical centers. Medical tourism has become big business for these countries by offering realistic costs for patients.
