Nipping Abroad for a Nip and a Tuck
Move over business, leisure and study, because more and more people are ticking the ''medical tourism'' box on their entry visa applications. Patients Without Borders estimates that 11 million travelers annually contribute to the global medical tourism market's value of US$55 billion, with 25 percent year-on-year growth.
