Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|

Medical tourism will be affected by the global economic downturn, concern about lower quality of care, and political instability. The international marketplace could be rewarding to American providers, payers, vendors, and other healthcare stakeholders that can efficiently and effectively respond to the current crisis. |
