Abstract

This paper explores healthcare globalisation’s repercussions on the healthcare system and services through exploring the existing literature. Globalisation has been providing opportunities to people in every area, including health, but it also has harmful effects on people, health systems, and health services. The researcher conducted a systematic literature review to gain insights into the link between globalisation and health. The keywords used for the searches are “Globalisation and Health System”, “Globalisation and Health Services, “Globalisation and Health Tourism”, and “Globalisation and Medical Tourism”. A total of 47 articles were identified as pertinent for inclusion. The study pointed out that the focus of the literature is shifting toward the role of international agencies in healthcare, international relations’ role, global governance in healthcare, more complex nature of social determinants of health (SDHs), etc. The findings of this study will assist health tourism marketers in identifying their target segment of health tourists.
