Medical tourism, global medical care, international health and wellness, and personal choices in healthcare options are all terms that have become more prevalent in everyday speech of inhabitants from around the world. The growing popularity of global wellness and availability of medical care and services has prompted millions of individuals to travel beyond borders for their health care needs.

Medical tourism conferences are scheduled throughout 2010 to deal with medical tourism issues such as quality of service, patient care, disease treatments and protocols in multiple health fields including weight loss and obesity, cosmetic surgical procedures, orthopedics, cardiac care, chronic illness and disease processes, and stem cell research.

Medical conferences from the United States to Mumbai, India to Switzerland and Slovenia are expected to generate healthcare administrators, doctors, surgeons, pharmaceutical representatives and health insurance agents and representatives from around the globe.

For example, GLOW, the Asia Medical Tourism and Wellness Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in May 2010 focuses on the shift from consumer health markets for healthy balances between work and life trends and techniques regarding health and wellness, new approaches for the wellness industry and strategies for hospitals and medical providers to reach and market services around the globe.

The First Annual Medical Tourism Research Conference is scheduled to be held in San Antonio, Texas in January 2010, while the first Tourism-Contact-Culture Research Network Conference will be held in Lisbon, Portugal in September. 

The concept of traveling beyond borders for medical care has reached an all time high and is expected to continue to grow in the coming decade, increasing the need for health care providers to come together for the common good of all.

More expatriates are returning to their native countries for medical care. This trend is due in part because of increased quality of care in many countries, as well as the affordability of such care. 

Asians traveling to Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia enjoy affordable state of the art and high-tech treatment and care for orthopedic surgical procedures, cardiac care, and vision care. Latin Americans are returning to Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina for cutting edge technology in cosmetic and plastic surgical procedures, infertility treatments, and anti aging treatments and procedures. Eastern Europeans are traveling to destinations such as Poland, Croatia, Hungary, and Armenia as well as Russia for drug detox treatments, infertility treatments, and stem cell treatment and technologies.

Rising healthcare costs in the United States, Britain, Canada and France are compelling natives as well as foreign citizens to return to their homelands for such care, which utilizes highly trained physicians, world-class treatment and quality care that nevertheless is not burdened by high malpractice insurance costs, long wait times, and an increasingly disturbing trend by physicians and insurance companies in some countries to hesitate to take on patients diagnosed with chronic and long-term illnesses that drain resources, time, and manpower.

Information, education and resources offered to such expatriates enables educated and informed decisions regarding medical care, preventive medicine, and treatment of conditions ranging from cancer treatment to spine or knee surgery to stem cell treatments in foreign facilities. Destinations such as Wooridul Spine Center in South Korea, EmCell stem cell research in Ukraine and Ageless Wonders in Panama offer international travelers the best that medicine has to offer.
