Description
Nazia Mumtaz and Ghulam Saqulain ask why Pakistan misses the medical tourism boom in a 2024 review. Patients cross borders for care in both directions between rich and poor countries. Cheap, accredited care pulls patients to India, Thailand, and the Emirates, and host economies gain.
Pakistan, they argue, has the doctors and the prices but not the destination status. Their narrative review searched major databases and the open web. From 180 items pulled, thirty-four solid English sources survived screening. The review lays out what medical tourism involves and what it could do for a strained economy. Accreditation and visibility emerge as the gaps to close.
