Western patients are increasingly traveling to developing countries
for health care and developing countries are increasingly offering
their skills and facilities to paying foreign customers. This
international trade in medical services has huge economic potential
for developing countries and serious implications for health care
across the globe. The potential is explored in this book through
analysis of the market for medical tourism and identification of
its link to economic growth. The authors propose that medical
tourism is not a universally feasible growth strategy. Instead, it
is successful only in countries with economic and political
advantages that enable them to navigate around international and
domestic obstacles to trade in medical services. It is also
suggested that a successful medical tourism industry, when coupled
with cooperation between the private and public sectors, may lead
to public health improvements in developing countries.
