Two years ago, the long waiting lists to get medical
attention in the UK took its toll on the patience of many Britons leading them
to seek medical attention overseas.
An article in the Daily Telegraph back in 2010 said that the
long waiting lists and rather expensive private healthcare has helped boost the
medical tourism industry. With approximately 2.65 million British nationals
going abroad yearly to seek affordable healthcare, it’s no wonder that medical
tourism agencies are making a profit in the UK alone. And it’s not just the
British who are seeking affordable healthcare services making the medical
tourism a multimillion dollar industry.
