As a developing nation, citizens and residents of Thailand can benefit a great deal by traveling in order to receive healthcare services. Thailand has a solid, well acclaimed healthcare system of its own, but some of what it offers is limited. As a middle income country, the funding, science and advancements are not quite what they would be in a first world nation. Those Thailand residents and citizens who are able to travel internationally have a major advantage when it comes to accessing quality healthcare.

One desirable destination for Thai people looking to receive healthcare abroad is Canada. Across the Pacific Ocean from Thailand, Canada is welcoming of medical tourists from all over the world, including Thailand. Medical tourism has become a prominent part of Canada’s medical and travel industries. Economically speaking, any country that attracts medical tourists has a lot to gain, which is certainly the case for Canadians. As a world leader in medical innovation, Canada can offer a medical tourist state of the art medical facilities, expert physicians and advanced medicine.

Canada’s medical services are purported to be some of the best anywhere on the globe. Canadian physicians are highly trained and receive the most thorough of medical educations. Canada is home to some of the world’s premiere physicians, as well as a wide range of expert specialists, ranging in skill sets from hepatology to endocrinology to dermatology.  As a first world nation, funding is available to see that medical facilities are kept up with the latest technological advances and medical equipment.

Not everyone in Thailand has the means to travel, but those who do should consider the benefits of medical tourism, especially to countries with reputations for good health practices such as Canada. Medical tourism increases the connection between countries, encourages the free exchange of information and helps the global economy. Enabling people to travel to the healthcare services they need most in the world is the way of the future.
