United States
The United States has one the most technologically advanced medical care in the world. Leading US international hospitals have been serving cross-border patients for decades. Between 60,000 to 85,000 medical tourists travel to the United States for the purpose of receiving medical care.
The availability of advanced medical technology and sophisticated training of physicians are cited as driving motivators for growth in foreigners travelling to the U.S. for medical care. Several major medical centers and teaching hospitals offer international patients centers that cater to patients from foreign countries who seek medical treatment in the U.S. Many of these these organizations offer service coordinators to assist international patients with arrangements for medical care, accommodations, finance and transportation.
Ownership of the health care system is mainly in private hands, though federal, state, county, and city governments also own certain facilities.
