Abstract

Today, healthcare is one of the most prominent factors in man's life, and man will continue to explore ways to find remedy from any illness. In the present time, distance is no hurdle, and therefore, man will cross all boundaries in quest of getting rid of imminent fatalities or for other healthcare problems. The study shows that there are four important reasons due to which a patient will travel to another country to seek medical care: (1) destination for medical care should be affordable, (2) waiting time for getting treatment should be minimum, (3) medical care and support system is better in foreign country than home country, and lastly, (4) such treatment is not available or not up to the mark in home country.
