| Nowadays, we can observe the increasingly dynamic, global trend of medical tourism. For different reasons, including access to health care services, sophistication of technology, reputation of doctors, more and more patients decide to seek treatment in foreign countries. From the macro- as well as micro-perspective, the medical tourism entails many opportunities. However, to be able to obtain the possible benefits, medical providers and public administration have to rise to many challenges. These, among other things, include implementation of Directive 2011/24/EU about cross-border healthcare into country low as well as informational, promotional and procedural changes. In this article, the authors discuss these problematic aspects taking into account Poland, as one of the crucial target directions in medical tourism. |
