Abstract
The growth rate of the
world medical tourism sector is currently considered among the highest
in comparison with other tourist segments. There are a large number of
scientific conferences on the topic of medical tourism in the world. It
spawned a new concept of modern healthcare. In the context of global
economic competition, the phenomenon of medical tourism makes medicine
develop more rapidly. In this regard, the authors conducted a search and
review of relevant sources on the issue of medical tourism. In order to
select and summarize sources, a search was made for the current
literature. The review presents the nature, problems and possibilities
of medical tourism in the framework of the literature studied.
Unfortunately, the issue of the development of medical tourism is
relatively little studied, this is confirmed by the small number of
original studies. At the same time, medical tourism as a phenomenon of
global health is growing, and therefore requires proper monitoring,
government regulation and the development of the necessary
infrastructure.
