Medical tourism is
the term for what has become a significant global industry, where people from
generally industrialized nations, such as the U.S., travel to less developed
nations in an effort to seek lower cost medical care, or, in some cases, where
people seek medical procedures not yet approved or available in their own
country. In Europe, where healthcare is often nationalized, patients may travel
to avoid excessive waiting periods.
Medical tourism is
becoming a dramatic symbol of the differences in healthcare administration
around the world. For people unable to afford high health insurance premiums,
or for those with inadequate policies for their needs, the cost of traveling to
another country is more than justified by the reduced costs of medical labor
and associated services. In addition, the spread of medical technology has
increased the willingness of people to put their faith in foreign medicine.
For many countries,
medical tourism is now seen as an important source of money, and dozens of
nations have put it on a short list of industries to actively support. India
and Southeast Asia are especially well represented, with medical tourism to
places like Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand growing rapidly, but virtually
every part of the world is represented. The size of the total global medical
tourism market is difficult to peg, but recent estimates are in the tens of
billions of dollars.
Kallo, a healthcare
industry support company based in Canada, has focused a significant part of its
energy toward the development of medical offerings oriented toward a globalized
world, including medical tourism. Their technologies support the highly flexible
integration of medical devices and IT systems, making it easier for medical
treatment on a worldwide basis. In particular, Kallo’s CygnaMed medical tourism
system offers bi-directional software for standardizing clinical processes and
treatment protocols, including different pharmacopeia. It helps ensure
continuity of care regardless of locations, and even provides a platform for a
Ministry of Tourism and Ministry of Health to promote medical tourism in the
country.
