examine key issues of the cross border movement of patients.

shape this key dimension of the globalisation of health.' - Nick

University, Canada'Lunt, Horsfall and Hanefield have brought
together the world's leading scholars in the field for this
Handbook. Collectively, they chart the course for medical tourism
research in covering an exhaustive range of topics. This book is
rich in both the breadth and depth of information offered in a time
where medical tourism is of increasing importance to the global and
domestic health policy and service provision landscape. The editors
have done a superb job of steering the contributors and piecing
together the various sections of the book to produce a coherent
and, what is likely to become, definitive work. It will be
essential reading for anyone with interests in the subject.' -
Robin Gauld, University of Otago, New Zealand The growth of
international travel for purposes of medical treatment has been
accompanied by increased academic research and analysis. This
Handbook explores the emergence of medical travel and patient
mobility and the implications for patients and health systems.
Bringing together leading scholars and analysts from across the
globe, this unprecedented Handbook examines the regional and
national experiences of medical tourism, including coverage of the
Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. The chapters
explore topics on issues of risk, law and ethics; and include
treatment-focused discussions which highlight patient
decision-making, patient experience and treatment outcomes for
cosmetic, transplantation, dental, fertility and bariatric
treatment. Students, practitioners and researchers of global health
policy, health and globalization, international business, travel
medicine and health ethics will find the subjects discussed to be
of considerable interest. Contributors: P.P. Barros, D. Bell, A.
