Africa's Medical Tourism Market Outlook 2022: How the COVID-19 Pandemic have Changed the Rules of Engagement
Dublin, Sept. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Medical Tourism 2022: African Potential" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The winds of change are sweeping across African medical tourism. Once seen as just a source for other medical tourism destinations, some African countries have taken stock and have or will seek to increase inbound medical tourism and reduce outbound medical tourism. Outbound medical tourism costs African countries millions of dollars in exchange revenue so they seek to fight back.
This unique analysis of African medical tourism looks forward rather than back as the pandemic changed the rules of engagement forever. Medical tourism in 2022 and beyond will not be a restart of how it was left in 2019 and earlier as there is no guarantee that previous trends will return.
This report looks at the potential and future in the context of how African countries are improving healthcare, Medical tourism is too often looked at in isolation from mainstream tourism and ignoring vital information on local healthcare, compulsory health insurance and private health insurance.
A key section profiles 11 top existing and potential medical tourism destinations in Africa- for inbound and outbound. Another section profiles another 12 leading medical tourism sources in Africa.
