Medical tourism is growing, with an estimated 23 million US patients expected to spend $79.5 billion on treatment abroad by 2017. Popular destinations include Panama, Brazil, Malaysia, Costa Rica, and India due to their lower costs compared to the US, ranging from 30-70% cheaper. European countries like Germany and France also attract medical tourists through their advanced technology and lower prices of around 50% less than the US. Turkey is another top destination for medical tourism due to its geographical location, over 30 accredited hospitals, short wait times, multilingual doctors, advanced technology, and affordable prices.

Medical Tourism Turkey(cost, quality, succes): IVF case study posterMustafa Said YILDIZ
Competitive advantages of Turkey in medical tourism is presented with a case study about IVF transaction. Cost, quality, succes and safety components are compared between USA and Turkey in that point.
Medical Tourism in Turkey: with IVF case study, comparison to USA implementat...Mustafa Said YILDIZ
Medical tourism has become an important mechanism of obtaining medical care services and it is estimated that total value of medical tourism has become more than $100 billion per year. The number of patients travelling internationally will continue to increase with lower effective travel cost, improvements in quality of care in “medical hubs”, and the cost-advantage of obtaining services elsewhere. The flow of patients is not unidirectional; patients flow from developed to developing regions, between developing areas as well as from developing areas to developed economies. A number of factors affect the size and direction of the flow. Turkey is now competing with other regional hubs to develop its medical tourism industry. Since medical tourism focus on services that show little or no decline in value with delayed receipt of services, it is not surprising that dental care, cosmetic surgeries, etc. are being promoted. The purpose of this study is to better understand the factors associated with increased popularity of medical tourism in Turkey.
To better understand the process of development of medical tourism for specific type of medical care, this study examines one specialized intervention, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), as the case study. In the past few years IVF has become an important medical tourism service for Turkey and analysis of its development can indicate how medical tourism evolves within a “hub” and how it can lead to development of other services for increasing the demand for general medical care by foreign patients. Cost of medical services in Turkey is only about 30% of the costs in Western Europe and the USA but the high demand for IVF services is not due to cost-advantage only; the success rate of IVF is found to be higher in Turkey than in the USA. Therefore, after correcting for the success rate, the cost-advantage per successful case becomes even higher. Over the last few years, quality indicators of Turkish hospitals in major medical tourism cities are also showing significant improvements implying that Turkey is moving towards creating significant comparative advantage in medical tourism.
This research indicates that most medical hubs like Turkey are going through rapid changes in their domestic medical care markets. Turkey has been successful in maintaining significant cost-advantage per unit of service provided compared to the cost in developed countries. Despite relatively low cost of care, the quality indices are showing significant improvements. In this case study we observe that the success rate of IVF has become better in Turkey than in the USA. If this trend of lower-cost but high quality continues, demand for medical tourism is likely to expand at a very rapid rate. In fact, higher level of medical tourism will be welfare improving for all and should be encouraged.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

2. Croatian medical tourism – ABOUT US One thing we can say for sure: mediocrity will not bring you a victory of anykind. It never was so and will never be so. In our attempt to achieve success, we decided not to be so obnoxiously normal. Ordinary behavior will only bring us to ordinary ideas, products and services. Fortunately we are willing to take the risk of breaking a few rules and disregarding some norms in the attempt to discover and produce something completely new, an undiscovered market niche and create a short-term monopoly while earning some money along the way. We believe we have the gift and guts to plot and create miracles. Because being just good isn't good enough anymore. To succeed we need to surprise and attract people. For this reason we run an unusual business. Simple. Innovative. Fresh. Petikantun – factory of ideas and dreams, competing in the field of imagination, inspiration, ingenuity and initiative.
