Medical Tourism and Global Healthcare – Where Are You Going?
February 10th, 2012 at 6:13 amThe American Medical Association (AMA) defines medical tourism as “the organized travel outside of one’s health care jurisdiction, usually one’s country, to enhance or restore health through medical intervention.” A less technical definition comes from Harvard Business School, which defines medical tourism as the act of “traveling far and wide for health care that is often better and certainly cheaper than at home.” The practice is also known as health tourism, medtrotting, or cross-border health tourism.
Medical tourism is booming and has now become a billion dollar industry. An estimated 10,000 Americans engage in medical tourism annually, not including cosmetic surgery and dental procedures. Other estimates range from 50,000 to 500,000, including all procedures. In 2005, about 150,000 people worldwide were medical tourists. Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and India are the leading countries in the medical tourism industry.
