Startups Look to Mainstream Medical Tourism

Medical equipment sits in an operating room at the Tun Hussein Onn National Eye Hospital in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia, on Tuesday, July 10, 2018. About 14 million people spent $68 billion on medical tourism in 2016, according to consulting firm PwC. A growing number are Westerners headed to developing countries for cosmetic surgery or dental work, procedures that are less expensive and invasive than major operations and often arent covered by insurance.
