By separating fact from fiction, the Medical Tourism Facts and Figures report provides a market overview, information, and analysis of available figures and outlook for the Medical Tourism industry.

Offering details not readily available elsewhere, the report presents a picture of the trends and strategic corporate developments worldwide. It condenses the important up-to-date facts into a concise document.

Medical Tourism Facts And Figures 2008 explodes the myths about accreditation and the differences between medical and other accreditation. In addition, it lists all current accredited hospitals and those pursuing accreditation.

Hospitals, medical professionals, property investors, travel agents, hotels, and other services can learn about global opportunities within the medical tourism industry. This report will help clear away any confusion created by the hype from the pro-medical tourism lobby, as well as the dire warnings of doom and gloom from those who often have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.

The first report in the Emerging Medical Tourism Countries series is now available: South Korea 2008.

South Korea was chosen as the first country in the Emerging Medical Tourism Countries series because the government has revised immigration rules to allow foreign patients and their families to get long-term medical visas and altered laws to permit local hospitals to form joint ventures, in some cases, with foreign hospitals. The medical tourism industry in South Korea is very active while targeting specific markets.

Taiwan was chosen as the second country in the Emerging Medical Tourism Countries series. Still relatively unknown in the medical tourism industry, Taiwan is actively promoting abroad its strength in medicine. Five areas where Taiwan is competitive on a global basis are liver transplantation, joint replacement, assisted reproduction, and craniofacial and cardiovascular surgeries. Boasting quality medical treatment and advanced facilities but comparatively inexpensive fees, Taiwan is positioned to develop a healthy medical tourism industry. Taiwan has very ambitious plans to overtake other Asian countries competing for the medical traveler. The 78-page report covers the “who, what, where, why and how” of the medical tourism industry in Taiwan.

This unique report series from specialist researcher Ian Youngman, investigates from a business perspective what is happening and will happen in all types of medical and health tourism in Taiwan. This is not a consumer guide. Ian Youngman comments, “There are many new countries seeking medical travelers. Those with a high profile are not necessarily those that will have the most impact. I have chosen countries with long- term potential for success. Taiwan is underrated and under-estimated by its competitors.”
