- Abstract (EN)
- Medical tourism, as many other industries, has suffered a big hit during the Covid pandemic. Being impacted both on the tourism and the healthcare side of the industry, it faces multiple challenges to recover. Looking at another period in time when the medical tourism industry was this heavily impacted and comparing technological advances during the respective periods, this article elaborates on how to better use digital technologies to rebuild and strengthen international patient care infrastructures. Before delving into the topic at hand I make the usual disclaimer: Due to the sensitive nature of the industry, there is not a lot of hard data available on medical tourism. Many hospitals do not record foreign patients differently than local patients, due to the specific set of laws that apply to them. Only a few medical tourism destinations collect hard data and survey medical tourists on their experience. Thus, any quantative analysis of the impact the Covid pandemic had and will have on medical tourism is strongly limited.
