In terms of ethnical codes and accountability, there is no other country with such stringent requirements as the United States. Although the US also has some of the highest healthcare costs in the world, there is no doubt that for complex procedures, difficult diagnosis or rare medical conditions, the US leads the way for providing quality medical and surgical treatment.
According to a report examining medical tourism trends worldwide by the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions, the United States in 2008 received more than 400,000 inbound medical tourists and spent almost $5 billion for health services. Inbound medical tourists to the United States are primarily from the Middle East, South America and Canada.

International patients represent approximately 3.5 percent of inpatient procedures with an annual grow rate of 3 percent per annum for international patient inflow to the US.
