Series: Advances in Hospitality and Tourism

Medical, Dental, and Wellness Tourism: A Post-Pandemic Perspective offers a thorough and informative guide to medical travel and tourism for the treatment of health-related issues. The book first defines medical, dental, and wellness tourism and travel for treatment and then goes on to look at the myriad issues involved, such as benefits and challenges of travel for treatment, how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the treatment sectors in tourism, selecting the right destination and facility, ending your life in another country, the growing world of birth tourism, dental tourism, medical travel for second opinions, privacy and health data security, the importance of post-operative care, and more. The book explores why medical tourism is the answer to our healthcare crisis. The patient deserves the right to seek the highest quality of medical, dental and wellness care anywhere on the globe with transparent pricing.

This volume provides an abundance of information necessary for practical solutions to healthcare needs, both to avoid the seemingly ever-rising cost of healthcare in the United States, offering choices and options outside the US as well as for choosing effective care in other countries. The volume also addresses advances in technology in the healthcare travel industry. A section on resources and experiences to aid in making the right healthcare decisions is included as well.

The chapters answer important questions when considering healthcare outside the US, such as

What options and choices are available globally How to choose the right medical, dental, pharma, or wellness location The benefits and challenges of travel for treatment What is involved in euthanasia in other countries How privacy of healthcare data maintained

COVID-19 has changed the face of the globe. Patients have a new perspective on how they want to receive health and wellness care, and this includes a deeper dive into the world of medical, dental, and wellness tourism. The future is about customizing how and where the patient wants to receive their medical, dental, and wellness treatments, transparent pricing, and the ability to make choices and view options anywhere in the world. Employers, government agencies, and private organizations are able to control healthcare costs, forecast trends, and allow their employees to get the highest quality of care through specialized Centers of Excellence. The book offers a comprehensive guide to medical, dental, and wellness tourism, explains how technology plays a role, as well as proposes solutions to the current healthcare system. A must read for anyone interested in the future of our global healthcare system.

Written by a renowned international speaker on medical, dental, and wellness tourism and travel for treatment, who has significant experience and advocate for affordable healthcare choices, this volume shares necessary information for those considering healthcare in other countries-those needing care as well as their healthcare professionals and loved ones.
