| Riz Khan - Medical tourism - 08 Sep 08 - Part 1 |
 |
So-called medical tourism where patients
travel to foreign countries in order to
receive care is not a new phenomenon.
But new figures from Deloitte LLP, an
international consulting firm, show how
popular the practice has become with an
estimated 750,000 Americans seeking medical
care abroad in 2007.
Projections indicate this number could be as
high as six million by 2010.
As interest in medical tourism increases
experts say it is necessary for people to
understand the risks that it poses.
The issue of healthcare is without a doubt
high on the agenda of millions of Americans,
but it is also important in those countries
with universal health care policies as
waiting time for procedures gets longer,
costs increase and the quality of medical
care following treatments often leaves a lot
to be desired.
Riz discusses the phenomenon of medical
tourism with Josef Woodman, author of
Patients Beyond Borders, Vishal Bali, CEO of
the Wockhardt Hospital Group in India, and
neuroscientist Dr Wise Young.
