Medical Tourism Growing in Central America
During this last two years, Medical Tourism has taken a very strong lead in Central America because of a sharp increase in medical services and insurance costs in the United States, the main market for patients for the world medical tourism industry, and because the incredible violence erupted in northern Mexico, that use to be a traditional medical tourism destination for north Americans. These two conditions have encouraged authorities and private investors to think seriously in the medical tourism business in countries like El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua. Costa Rica and Panama are already positioned in this market, especially Costa Rica.
