I just read Constantine Constantinides informative and latest missive on medical tourism. Constantine runs Healthcare Cybernetics and is one of the “wise heads” of medical tourism.
Constantine says:
“I am getting fed up with industry newcomers (the “Johnny-come-latelys”), industry outsiders and the self-important upstarts who take issue with the word Tourism – claiming it is not “grand” enough for them to be associated with.They propose replacing it with the word “Travel”. Some even suggest we dump everything and start talking of Global Health (as if healthcare has not been global for ages)…….I do not like the “tourism” word – but neither do I like the several suggested alternatives”

Universal health care is far more than a political catch phrase in the United States. For some, it could mean the difference between having and not having health care. According to the US Census Bureau, at least 47 million Americans were uninsured in 2006. With the economic crisis that has ballooned since then, that number may be even higher. Job loss, corporate cutbacks, and inflated costs have forced people to reevaluate their health care status. Questions like “How much do dental caps cost,” don’t even generate discussion. The answer, without a thought is, “It doesn’t matter, I can’t afford it.”

It’s no surprise that medical and dental tourism took a hit, because of last year’s terrorist attacks in Mumbai. People want to save money, but aren’t ready to compromise safety for affordable health care. Affordable cosmetic procedures like dental crowns or facelifts may have been the hardest hit by the declining tourism. Many patients are unwilling to accept the risk of being caught in a hostile situation where personal injury or loss of life may hang in the balance. Medical tourism patients and travelers alike want assurance they’ll be safe when traveling abroad.
