Medical Tourism /Medical Outsourcing

As healthcare costs continue to soar in some countries while there is also a long delay in having certain investigations done in others, there is the need to look elsewhere for cheaper care but of comparable quality where investigations can also be done quickly.

Many countries such as India, Brazil and Cuba have taken up this challenge and are filling an unmet need. This is creating a multi-billion dollar industry.

I believe developing countries such as Ghana can grab this opportunity and create an attractive business that can attract some of its healthcare brains who have left its shores as well as retain the new crop.

What is your opinion on this subject?
