This list of leading hospitals for medical tourism is issued by the Medical Travel Quality Alliance. The goal is to help patients, hospitals, and medical travel companies better understand the essential factors that create an outstanding medical experience for a medical tourist. 

Medical travel is more than finding a good hospital that offers extras like hotel bookings, airport pickups, international television channels, and familiar foods. As medical tourists expect these extras, many medical providers are more than happy to provide these comforts.

If only that were all that’s needed for medical travelers to get good outcomes and return safely home.
