Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study that investigated the marketing status of Medical Tourism in 6 private and 14 public Hospitals affiliated to TUMS in 2018. A valid checklist was used for data collection; besides, SPSS software, descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney test and Kruskal-Wallis test were applied for data analysis. Results: Product factor has a satisfactory status in state-owned Hospitals and an average status in private Hospitals. Place factor, people factor, process factor, and physician factor are satisfactory in public and private Hospitals. Promotion factor in public Hospitals is unacceptable and in private Hospitals is average. Besides, price and place factors in public and private Hospitals are average. Moreover, there is no significant relationship between any of the above factors and the type of Hospitals(-public, private).
