Abstract

Traveling to foreign countries for medical treatment is becoming more common. There are numerous opportunities for ethical providers and practitioners in the frontiers of globalized healthcare and medical tourism. Patient care quality encompasses everything a healthcare institution does, from how they care for their patients to ensuring effective, efficient, and fair service delivery and adherence to occupational safety. Because the quality of patient care in hospitals can only be judged after treatment, international patients frequently choose their hospitals abroad depending on their accreditation status. Accreditation ensures cost-effective healthcare and allows patients to make informed decisions about which hospitals they prefer for their abroad treatment. Despite the medical tourism industry’s tremendous growth, just a few criteria exist to assure that these institutions provide high-quality, competent international healthcare. Accreditation fills a significant regulatory void in various nations. Patients should seek treatment only at certified foreign healthcare centers. Standards should be set to guarantee that medical tourism clients make informed decisions. Accreditation of medical tourism companies is required. Continuity of care must become an essential component of cross-border care. Medical tourism companies should set restrictions on liability waiver forms. Medical tourism companies must guarantee that they follow appropriate patient privacy and confidentiality legislation. Medical tourism is one of India's fastest-growing industries, and the country is known as a global medical tourism hotspot. India is a popular medical tourism destination because of its high-quality healthcare at a low cost. This sector has enormous potential to grow its services with more investments in building, infrastructure, technology, and services to offer a seamless experience for overseas patients.
