From exotic spa treatments to euthanasia, this book examines the
background and social context of medical tourism-the practice of
traveling for health care. This work also documents how this
industry is reshaping the face of medicine worldwide for
individuals, local communities, and national health care systems.
Medical Tourism: A Reference Handbook provides an accessible
overview of the state of medical tourism, written from a balanced,
unbiased perspective. The authors provide relevant social context
for this controversial topic, discussing the state of extremely
limited research data on medical tourism; the ethical issues
involved, such as traveling to have a black-market organ
transplanted; and the significant impact of medical tourism on
health care systems-that of the United States, and those of the
destination countries. The book highlights many contemporary
problems, controversies, and implications of medical tourism both
for individuals and health care systems, and presents
thought-provoking potential solutions. The topic of medical tourism
is also addressed against the backdrop of current healthcare
reforms in the United States. Readers can reference a wealth of
additional material on medical tourism, ranging from original
documents to extensive directories of selected organizations and
resources. A timeline of important historical and contemporary
events in history of medical tourism An extensive bibliography to
assist readers toward additional resources for further research
