Medical Travel and Health Tourism in Turkey

Medical tourism, regarded as a sub-category of health tourism, signifies activities that combine health care with economical, short vacations. The rapid expansion and growth of the medical industry due to globalization, the problems related with health systems in some countries (for example, long waiting periods, increasing costs and dissatisfaction with the quality of service), the increasing awareness of consumers of treatment alternatives, and the dynamics affecting the healthcare industry such as conditions in the European Union (EU), should all be considered in the concept and development of both vacation and treatment elements.
