Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Medical travel is not new word, many years ago greed patient traveled to place called epidura, then roman & Britain patient traveled for water & spa treatment. The first recorded instance of Medical travel was when Florence (Mother of Nursing Services) started referring patients from Switzerland to turkey. Then Cuba started forma medical travel promotion, followed by Argentina, Mexico brazil….etc. But in the last decade, developing Asian countries started attracting developed world, inviting them for benefits of low cost medical services combining with the joy of tourism attraction. This why a term called Medical Tourism was coined. In my opinion the current medical tourism work as one way street at MTA we are trying to develop two street which will lead this industry to Global Healthcare Industry.
  2. Visa database, reveal very interesting information about how visitors spent money in Asia Pacific. The study, which is based on actual transactions, not on surveys, indicated the Medical purchasing rank number five. Significantly highlighting the strength of Medical Industry in Asia Pacific region.
  3. Medical tourism is creating tremendous opportunities for Government sector, tourism board, private healthcare, health-travel facilitators and travel agents.
