• Lower cost of labor
• Lower real estate values
• Lower construction costs (to build hospitals)
• Favorable exchange rates
• Lower government taxes
• No accounts receivable collections issues with medical tourism patients (cash/credit card payment before release from hospital)
• No emergency room bad debt
• Less administrative paper shuffling
• Less bureaucracy/red tape
