Globalisation has given birth to medical tourism. Health and medical tourism are the fastest growing segments in not only developed nations but in developing countries too. India has become a hot destination, as the Indian medical standards match up to the highly prescribed international standards at a very low cost. However, it is an unmixed blessing; along with advantages, it has many unintended side effects also.
全球化催生了医疗旅游。健康和医疗旅游不仅在发达国家,而且在发展中国家都是增长最快的领域。印度已成为热门目的地,因为印度的医疗标准能以极低的成本达到国际高度认可的标准。然而,这并非纯粹的好事;除了优势之外,它也有许多意想不到的副作用。
