How does Global Healthcare differ from Medical Tourism? Global Healthcare vs Medical Tourism 

Medical Tourism is direct reult of globalization of healthcare, hence medical tourism is merely a part of Global Healthcare.

Often many a time Medical Tourism is replaced with global healthcare, which should be acceptable, but global healthcare is not a replacement of medical tourism.

Medical Tourism or Medical Travel is a process where patients cross their national borders to attain medical treatment in such a country where quality medical facilities are available at a very affordable cost.

Whereas Global Healthcare is a process where entire Healthcare industry is being travelled throughout the globe to reach to the needy and assist to obtain good quality of medical care. Healthcare Globalization is the growth of cross cultural healthcare policies and healthcare systems.

 

In simple words Medical Tourism is just a part of Global Healthcare.
