There was a time when the only options for a medical procedure was restricted within the boundaries of a country, but thanks to international flights this is no more the case. Today, international boundaries are of no consequence except of course on the political front. As long as there are no legal hassles involved, any person who wishes to seek medical treatment in another country can easily do so without worrying about how they will get there.
The opening up of the international airspace has certainly proved to be a boon to many, especially those who have been waiting to seek medical help in another country. International flights are usually taken for granted by a majority of travelers, but it is only those who understand the value of being able to access medical facilities that were until now out of reach know their true value. Thanks to these flights, patients can now head to countries across the globe where the desired treatment can be sought.
Usually, there are only two basic reasons as to why medical treatment is sought in other countries. In the first scenario, the medical procedure required or a better option than the one suggested is only available in another country and this forces the patient to fly to that country. Another scenario is that the treatment available in another country is cheaper than in the home country of the patient, even after the travel costs! Medical tourism is therefore a possibility today only because of the affordability and availability of international flights.
