Medical Tourism is a very serious business.You are dealing with human lives it is not a money making body-shipping business.It should be more patient centric and the concern should be more on the overall wellbeing of the patient. We too are a part of Medical Tourism and we believe in this ideology.Dont try to make money out of a sick person try to help him instead!
