For thousands of years people have travelled far and wide to get medical treatment for various illnesses, injuries and infirmities.
From the ancient Greek pilgrims who travelled over the Mediterranean in search of healing god Asklepios to the patients seeking the health-giving mineral waters of Victorian England spa towns, medical tourism is nothing new.
But in recent years medical and health tourism, the practice of travelling to seek medical treatment, has garnered more interest, particularly within the UK and the National Health Service.
