Abstract
The rise of medical tourism poses questions for health systems around the world. This article sets the context for what exactly should be considered as medical tourism, charts the rise of the phenomenon, and outlines some of the emerging concerns and opportunities. Medical tourism may impact on both the country to which a person travels for treatment (the exporter of medical tourism services) and the source country (who import medical tourism services). Issues of patient safety, the global movement of health professionals, emergence of two-tier systems, and financing of domestic health systems are all discussed.
