Medical Tourism: The Ethics, Regulation, and Marketing of Health Mobility (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781138081659)

This book is one of the first to critically address the substantial political, philosophical and ethical issues that arise out of the transnational practices of medical tourism. Through a series of chapters, the book engages with key issues such as its role of regulatory and policy structures in influencing medical and health tourism, in terms of being both a push and pull force on mobilities of medical and health tourism. These issues are investigated, considering a range of developing and developed countries, medical systems and health economic perspectives.
