Pages

  0-0

Abstract

 Background: Medical tourism (MT) refers to circumstances in which people travel for medical treatments. The present study focuses on determining factors affecting MT in Iran. Methods: The study uses a mixed method approach. Initially, through a qualitative study, 12 experts were interviewed deeply; then, 22 participants in three equal focus groups expressed their ideas about growth and development of MT in Iran. Based on the expressed ideas, 120 factors were identified and accordingly a structured questionnaire was developed. Some members from the focus groups confirmed the questionnaire’ s face and content validity. The reliability of pertinent items was confirmed using Cronbach’ s alpha=0. 8. Afterwards, 61 eligible subjects filled out this questionnaire. Results: The findings showed that “ Healthcare Quality” and “ high level of expertise” are two most attractive factors in MT. However, other factors such as “ Healthcare Costs” , and “ visa facilities” are among key factors as well. Also, the role of “ the healthcare providers” was found to be more prominent than the roles of “ the government” and “ the general tourist services” . Conclusion: Although some attractive MT factors are present currently, MT expansion to a desirable level in Iran requires a comprehensive plan of which its factors were discussed in this paper.
