Ten years ago, medical tourism usually referred to cosmetic, plastic, or elective surgery. Increasingly, however, patients are receiving life-saving medical operations such as heart surgery. Hip replacements, fertility work, and cancer treatments have also become quite popular in recent years. In addition, some medical and dental destinations offer procedures that are unavailable in certain Western countries. Hip resurfacing, for example, was only recently approved by the US Food & Drug Administration, even though it had been available in India for quite some time. We don’t always recommend signing up for experimental treatments, but certain medical conditions warrant exploring any and all available options.
