Abstract
This article explores how international medical tourism, the acquisition of medical services in another country for various reasons, has changed from ancient times, to Renaissance and post-Renaissance Europe, and to the present. It examines the sociocultural, medical, and environmental factors driving medical tourism, as well as how medical tourism has in turn influenced humanity. We take a look at the current trends in medical tourism with examples of the most popular destination countries. Finally, we will address potential future developments in medical tourism and the associated issues.
