About the Book

In the recent past, a trend known as medical tourism has emerged wherein
citizens of highly developed countries choose to bypass care o ered in their own
communities and travel to less developed areas of the world to receive a wide
variety of medical services. The practice of travelling for health and medical
reasons has a long history. Even the ancient civilizations recognized the therapeutic
e ects of mineral thermal springs and sacred temple baths. For example,
the Sumerians constructed health complexes around hot springs more than four
thousand years ago, which included temples with owing pools. Ancient
Romans built resorts with thermal health spas, and therapeutic temples thrived
during the Greek domain. Ancient Greeks were known for their travels to the
sanctuary of the healing god, Asklepios, believed to reveal remedies for di erent
ailments in the dreams. This sanctuary was in fact a small territory in the Saronic
Gulf named Epidauria – today considered as the birthplace of medical tourism as
we know it. Medical tourism is becoming increasingly popular. "Medical tourism"
refers to traveling to another country for medical care. It's estimated that up to
750,000 US residents travel abroad for care each year. Many people who travel for
care do so because treatment is much cheaper in another country. In addition, a
large number of medical tourists are immigrants to the United States returning
to their home country for care. The most common procedures that people
undergo on medical tourism trips include cosmetic surgery, dentistry, and heart
surgery. This phenomenon is driven by marketplace forces and occurs outside of
the view and control of the organized healthcare system. Medical tourism
presents important concerns and challenges as well as potential opportunities.
Medical tourists are subject to a variety of risks, which may include deep vein
thrombosis, tuberculosis, amoebic dysentery, paratyphoid, poor post-operative
care, and others. Medical tourism is fundamentally di erent from the traditional
model of international medical travel where patients generally journey from less
developed nations to major medical centers in highly developed countries for
medical treatment that is unavailable in their own communities. Growing competition
for a ordable and accessible medical resources and providers has
prompted a user-friendly yet thorough analysis of the medical tourism industry
of the past, present and future in this meticulously researched and compiled
‘how to’ for up and coming as well as well-established medical providers around
the world. Evolution of Medical Tourism shields such topics as the future of the
global healthcare industry to dealing with supply and demand in the medical
tourism industry. It covers from developing marketing channels to the importance
of patient nurturing, negotiations and patient acquisition.
