After all I think it is a fantastic idea to make a blog for my research as the university has been recommended. My first inspiration was a medical tourism in Europe and my target was some Russian resorts but then my research lead me to think about the possibility of same tourism aspect in other European countries. For instance, countries like Switzerland and Germany have good health care resources and medical services that attached to latest researches. At the same time there are many patients inside and outside of the Europe borders who want to come along to use these services. This advancement of medical technology and knowledge make a huge tourism market that is not only about the patients and their use of services but also about their attendants who come along with them and need to use other nonmedical tourism services. Those people are also influence medical and nonmedical tourism market on the host countries. Now I plan to research key aspects of medical tourism like expertise, services, infrastructure, insurance, governments, policy and quality on different European countries. As soon as I explore the medical tourism perspectives in those countries I will focus to tide down my research on one specific county.
There are lots of examples on the Germany and other countries it should be interesting subject to follow. Looking forward to see you updates soon.
ReplyDeleteGood topic! It is really practical. You could develop it in the future as an infrastructure and model for the countries which are in low level of medical and wellness services. Good luck Elena!
ReplyDeleteThat is really interesting. I did not know that many medical tourists are coming to Germany. Of course, I know that Germany is pretty advanced in medical research, technology and treatment, but I thought it is too expensive. I have heard only of many Germans who go to eastern europe countries to receive medical treatment, particularly dental care and plastic surgery (everything that is not covered by the health insurance).
ReplyDeleteThis is a really interesting research topic and I am curious about your findings!
Well this sound really interesting. I do not know a lot about Medical Tourism and it will be interesting for me to read your disertation.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I am aware is that there are some tourists that come to Bulgaria for dentist cervices. Good luck :)
I think this topic is very interesting!!!it is useful to do this type of research, because we can improve health condition and of course medical services!!!I think that you need a lot of materials, but I'm sure that you will do a successful dissertation!!!so good luck!
