When thinking about medical tourism and of going abroad for any sort of medical service, we rarely think of getting ourselves insured for the road. Usually, just normal insurances are made, regular traveler’s insurances, protecting valuables, paying for bills if food poisoning or a stabbing happens, but nothing that actually touches on the subject of travel.

This is largely due to the negative comments and misinformation that is being spread by the people on the internet.

Despite what some websites may tell you, regulations and more importantly, proper regulations are a central question among people in the medical tourism industry, and clinicians scramble to fulfill international standards as well as local ones.
