Japan may be ruling the roof in technology but somehow in medical tourism it is moving on a snail’s speed. Hospitals, schools, travel agencies and even the government are on the move to promote and improve the services in health care segment. Gradually Japan is showing the sign of improvement on this move. Patients from USA and other countries are flocking to Japan for medical procedure.Till 2009 Japan used to treat patients in single digit number only. Last year, the number of patients rose up to 22. Kameda Medical Center in Kamogawa has made appropriate arrangements for the overseas patients. This center now is well equipped in handling patients answering five to six online enquiries daily .Kameda became the first accredited hospital by Joint Commission International. Recently Four Fillipino nurses are working in Japan. As demand is on the higher side Japan is encouraging nursing as profession. It likes to keep the 13 the floor exclusively for international patients. One more hurdle Japan is facing is language barrier! Not up to the expected level. Hence along with this motto English also has been on the high priority to be learnt. Now they want to learn with vengeance. In April 2009, a travel agency has started attracting rich Chinese offering many things as a package. The agency has fore seen ample business opportunities in medical tourism. It also likes to include sightseeing as a part of it. Fujita Kanko has started such tours from this spring.

where do US patinets go for treatment?

Medical tourist has been the center of attraction in the medical business industry.Almost all the countries are ready to quote the lowest,with the best world class treatment.Sometimes it becomes very confusing,where the patients should actually go? They would be going to where they feel free and confident! Americans may prefer low price,excellent treatment,comfortable air travel.

Americans make a survey of the treatment,hospitals from friends,pres,and internet.We can't point out a country of Americans' preference!Some of them even prefer to go where their ancestors were born!

Environmental awareness is taking them into long flights.Few of them go to Canada and Cuba.

Mexico as a center of medical tourism destination
Mexico has been the hot favorite of Americans for the medical treatment.

Panama is also a popular destination, as are Costa Rica and Puerto Rico. Not every medical tourist is an American or a national living in the US returning home for treatment. The problem arises when few hospitals differentiate between medical tourists and all other international patients. .

Global happenings have an impact on where Americans go.Some are aware of the reality of life and others may carry on their stories.

India and terrorism, Thailand and political violence, Mexico and flu are the major concerns for anybody to decide thier medical procedure.
