About this book
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.
