Medical Tourism Survey 2007 - 08 June 2007

Medical Tourism Survey 2007 The Treatment Abroad Medical Tourism Survey 2007 was the first study of its kind to be conducted on medical tourism in the UK. The aim was to collect quantitative data on numbers of patients travelling from the UK to other countries for elective and cosmetic surgery, and dental and infertility treatment. The survey was carried out by European Research Specialists Ltd and compiled data from 132 clinics, hospitals and healthcare providers in 30 countries that promote their services to the UK market. The survey reveals that over 50,000 people travelled abroad for treatment last year, and spent £161 million on medical tourism. The number of medical tourists increased by 25% over the 12 months and, predicts the survey, will continue to grow over the next 6-12 months. The Medical Tourism Survey 2007 reveals that India, Hungary and Turkey are amongst the most popular medical tourism destinations for UK patients. Dentistry is the most popular service with dental treatments such as crowns, dental implants, bridges and veneers leading the way. Over 20,000 Brits travel abroad for their teeth, spending around £2,500 each, with an estimated market value of over £50 million per annum.
