Why medical tourism can solve your health care problem?

User Avatar

Asked by Medbirds

Medical tourism can't solve all of your healthcare problems but it is a safe and affordable option for individuals that are uninsured or under-insured and need treatment. Medical travel involves an individual that travels outside of his/her home country for medical treatment. Before booking your medical travel you need to be well educated on the doctor, hospital and country that you are visiting. For example, check the hospital's accreditations and the doctor's credentials. It's crucial that you know you are receiving treatment from a credentialed doctor and accredited hospital. It also helps to work with a facilitator. They will match you with the best providers and ensure that you get the highest quality treatment.

What is the effect of medical tourism on Indian Economy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Since the government is actively participating in the expansion of the medical tourism industry, there is much investment in the facilities and resources needed for medical tourists. This including the production of an estimated 20, 000 - 30,000 doctors and nurses each year. At an approximate growth of 30% each year, studies conducted by government and private sectors in India estimate that medical tourism could bring between $1 billion and $2 billion US into India by 2012.

With all this investment, as well as the growing nature of this competitive market, patients from western countries are usually offered high quality service packages at a fraction of the treatment cost in the home country.

What are the effects of medical tourism on tourism industry?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is a very arguable question so remember to screen your answers.

Generally, companies will have a positive impact on the tourism industry due to an increase in travel, hotel accommodations and general tourism in some cases.

Of course, this depends on how each particular country (and on a small scale, each hospital) decides to take advantage of the trend.

U.S. health reform is expected to have a significantly positive impact on medical tourism due to increasing individual healthcare costs associated with the reform.

Also, a 'blue ocean' has been found in medical tourism cruising, that is, patients going on cruise ships in order to receive treatment. Not all cruise ships can accommodate this practice nor do cruise ships have an extensive list of procedures outside of spa treatments.
