The phenomenon of receiving healthcare abroad has grown over the past several years. Due to increasing healthcare costs at home, more and more Americans and Europeans are traveling abroad seeking medical treatment, which is commonly referred to as “medical tourism”. Medical travel, health tourism, or global healthcare are also commonly used terms for this practice. People are now choosing to receive healthcare in places where they can receive comparable or better quality treatment at lower costs. They prefer shorter or no waiting periods and quicker access.

For patients traveling to Turkey, elective procedures such as liposuction, orthodontics, lasik, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation as well as complex specialized procedures such as cardiovascular surgery, brain surgery, orthopedic joint (knee & hip) replacements can result in savings of up to 75%- 90% as compared to what they cost in the US and in Europe. Among other procedures for which patients travel abroad are medical oncology, hematological oncology, radiation oncology, Cyberknife, kidney dialysis, prostate operations, organ transplants (heart, kidney, liver, pancreas, small intestine, bone marrow), in vitro fertilization treatments and fertility operations, dental treatments and surgery; eye operations; plastic, reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries.

Medical tourism has the potential to offer substantial benefits and opportunities to American and global patients, employers, service providers, insurance companies, and the economy as a whole. Countries with comparative cost and quality advantage could be the solution to global health care crisis. The industry needs well established global networks and partnerships. If quality, patient safety, pre-operative, post-discharge, and follow-up care are given top priority, risks are well managed, certain industry standards are established and followed by medical tourism facilitators, and if the industry leaders such as JCI and MTA continue playing their crucial role in educating the industry, ensuring the quality of healthcare and patient safety, and promoting the transparency, then the medical travel industry could benefit all.
