Today’s aging population is driven by affluent, computer-savvy “baby boomers” who are increasingly travelling any distance to access healthcare that will MAXIMIZE their quality of life … welcome to Medical Tourism.
Currently estimated at $40 billion, the medical tourism industry is expected to explode to $110 billion by 2020. In Canada alone an estimated 875,000 people are waiting for surgery or some other procedure and approximately 300,000 will travel abroad for some form of healthcare procedure.
