Resumen
DE LA PUENTE PACHECO, Mario Alberto y MAURY CAMPO, Mauro. Risks and Benefits of Medical Tourism in Developing Countries in the Period 2015 to 2019. rev. econ. Caribe [online]. 2020, n.25, pp.53-65. Epub 08-Jun-2021. ISSN 2011-2106. https://doi.org/10.14482/ecoca.25.658.4.
This article analyzes the potential risks and advantages of a medical tourism offer in developing countries based on international health mobility dynamics. Through a comparison of secondary sources and the presentation of a case study between the UK and India, it is found that legal loopholes, deepening inequalities in access to public medical services and security uncertainty may reduce the attraction of health professionals, competition improvements, and advances in the quality of medical care.
