Abstract

Introduction: Rise in healthcare costs and long waiting lists for patients in developed countries coupled with the availability of high quality medical services at a low cost in developing countries caused the MEDICAL TOURISM industry to emerge. Globalization and free trade in healthcare act as a catalyst to grow this industry. On the other hand, this industry faces challenges such as those related to LEGAL ISSUES. Considering the growth of this industry in Iran and lack of studies on relevant LEGAL ISSUES, this study aims to investigate LEGAL ISSUES related to the MEDICAL TOURISM in Iran.Methods: This review conducted to investigate LEGAL ISSUES related to MEDICAL TOURISM in Iran. The data of this review study were gathered from journals accessible in databases including Scopus, SID, Pub med and Google Scholar. The search terms were “MEDICAL TOURISM” and “legal issues”, and “health tourism”. The initial database search retrieved 47 relevant articles. The titles and abstracts of these articles were scanned for relevant information and 23 articles were identified as relevant to the study objectives. Then the results were analyzed.Results: The findings showed that there are challenges related to the MEDICAL TOURISM along with the increasing growth of this industry. These challenges include areas of access to care, medical errors, health insurance, entities and procedures for licensing and regulating medical centers, practices and technologies.Conclusion: Challenges related to LEGAL ISSUES deserve policy makers’ and officials’ attention in order to resolve these international challenges and facilitate the process of attracting foreign patients.
