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.
