Abstract

The advancement in medical facility and lesser cost of treatment are understandably de facto in medical tourism between originating and destination continents. However, data about facility or full details about cost are not usually available and hence, are not involved in discussions of medical tourism. Hence, in this article, an innovative visual approach based on probability and statistical concepts is adapted to capture and comprehend on how alluring patients in an originating continent are bridged to importunity in a destination continent in the practices of medical tourism. Both the concept and method are illustrated using the data in Table 1.
