Medical tourism provides patients the opportunity to seek out the latest advances in medical procedures from around the world. Thanks to Internet technology, more affordable international travel and major advances in medical science, medical tourism is becoming less of a novelty and more of a global trend. 

According to the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions, in 2009, an estimated 650,000 Americans traveled abroad to receive some kind of elective medical treatment with India, Singapore, Thailand, and Costa Rica as favored destinations. They also estimate that 1.6 million Americans will travel abroad for their care by 2012. The primary driver for this growth has been cost savings; however, faster surgical time lines and procedures not approved in the United States are also becoming factors for medical tourism.
