Perhaps the most comprehensive analysis of the medical tourism industry on the market. Unlike many other medical tourism resources, Cohen takes an unbiased, holistic approach to discuss:
-What is driving the growth of medical tourism
-The dynamics of patient flows from region to region
-Real life patient experiences
-The role of public and private insurance in sponsoring medical tourism
-Ethical, legal and moral obligations of facilitators and providers in assisting or delivering care to medical tourists
-How to regulate services illegal in certain countries (e.g., assisted suicide, stem cell treatment)
While the bulk of the book focuses on the latter two issues, there is plenty of information and analysis in here that makes you think from a business perspective as well.
A recommended read to anyone who currently works in or plans to enter the industry.
